A point charge of mass 0.0840 kg and charge q = +6.69 μC is suspended by a thread between the vertical parallel plates of a parallel-plate capacitor, as shown in the figure below. If the angle of deflection is θ = 21.0°, and the separation between the plates is d = 0.0220 m, what is the potential difference between the plates?

IP A point charge of mass 9.9×10⁻² kg and charge +6.77 δC is suspended by a thread between the vertical parallel plates of a parallel-plate capacitor, as shown in the figure (Figure 1). Part A If the charge deflects to the right of vertical, as indicated in the figure, which of the two plates is at the higher electric potential? The right plate The left plate Part B If the angle of deflection is 22°, and the separation between the plates is 0.025 m, what is the potential difference between the plates? Express your answer using two significant figures.

A small plastic ball of mass 5.63 × 10^-3 kg and charge +0.129 C is suspended from an insulating thread and hangs between the plates of a capacitor (see the drawing). The ball is in equilibrium, with the thread making an angle of 30.0° with respect to the vertical. The area of each plate is 0.01785 m^2. What is the magnitude of the charge on each plate?
