17.3 A piece of amber is charged by rubbing with a piece of fur. If the net excess charge on the
fur is 8.5 nC ( 8.5×10-9C) many electrons were added to the amber?
17.7 The excess charge per unit area on a surface is σ = -5.0×10-3 C/m2 . How many excess
electrons are there on a 1.0-mm2 piece of the surface?
17.12 Two particles with electric charges Q and -3Q are separated by a distance of 1.2 m. (a) If
Q = 4.5 C, what is the electric force between the two particles? (b) If Q = -4.5 C, how does the
answer change?

17.45 A small, plastic sphere of mass m = 100 g is attached to a string as
shown in Figure P17.45. There is an electric field of 100 N/C directed
along the x direction. If the string makes an angle θ = 30° with the y-axis,
what is the charge on the sphere?
17.58 A cylinder has volume V and charge density ρ (Fig. P17.58). What is
the electric flux through a sphere of radius R that encloses the cylinder?
17.66 Consider the spherical Gaussian surface shown in Figure P17.66. It is
situated near a point charge Q which is located a distance 2r from the center
of the sphere and outside the Gaussian surface. Compute the net electric flux
through this surface.
