And there is no capaicitance given either.

There is no area of the shoe given. Apparently, someone has told me that I can solve it in terms of σ, the charge per unit area, not the total charge.

Homework Statement A dust particle with mass of 0.043g and a charge of 2.0 * 10^(-6)C is in a region of space where the potential is given by V(x) = (2.0V/m^2)x^2 - (3.0V/m^3)x^3. If the particle starts at x = 2.1m, what is the initial acceleration of the charge? Your explanation will be...

A manufacturer claims that a carpet will not generate more than 4.9kV of static electricity. What magnitude of charge would have to be transferred between a carpet and a shoe for there to be a 4.9kV potential difference between the shoe and the carpet. Approximate the shoe and the carpet as...
