Define the electric potential at a point.
From Fig. 5.1, determine the sphere's radius.
From Fig. 5.1, determine the charge on the sphere.
Two spheres are identical to the one in (b), and each carries the same charge as the sphere in (b). They are kept in a vacuum with their centres separated by $0.46\,\text{m}$. Assume that the charge on each sphere may be treated as a point charge at its centre. Calculate the electric potential energy $E_p$ of the two spheres.
The two spheres are now released at the same time so that they can move freely. Describe and explain how the spheres then move.
