Explanation / Answer

011:

potential on surface of both spheres will be same.

V = k Q1 / r1 = k Q2 / r2

Q1 = Q2 (0.44/0.7)  


and Q1 + Q2 = 6 + 6

(0.44/0.7) Q2 + Q2 = 12

Q2 = 7.368 uC  


V = ( 9 x 10^9) (7.368 x 10^-6) / (0.7)

V = 94.7 x 10^3 Volt

Ans: 94.7 kV  


----------------------------------------------

Ey = d(V) / dy

= 2 alpha x^2 y + 3 & y^2 z

= (2 x 9 x 5.1^2 x -4) + (3 x 7.7 x (-4)^2 x 5.3)

= 86.16 V/m .....Ans

---------------------------

Potential at the location of first point,

V = k Q1 / r + k Q2 / r

V = (9 x 10^9 / 3 x 10^-6) (1.7 + 1.3)(10^-6)

V = 9 x 10^9 Volt


Work = q delta V  

= (0.2 x 10^-6)(9 x 10^9)

= 1800 J
