A small glass bead charged to 5.0 nC is in the plane that bisects a thin, uniformly charged, 10-cm-long glass rod and is 4.0 cm from the rod's center. The bead is repelled from the rod with a force of 910 N. What is the total charge on the rod?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let B= bead

Q = rod

the electric field at the glass bead pocation is

(Gauss theorem)

E = Q / (2 π d L εo)

the force is

F = q E = q Q / (2 π d L εo)

then

Q = 2 π d L εo F / q

Q = 2*3.14*4x10^-2*10^-1*8.85x10^-12*910x10^-4 / 5x10^-9 = 2.87x10^-8 C = 40.5 nC
