A small plastic ball of mass 5.86 10-3 kg and charge +0.178 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 0.01293 m. What is the magnitude of the charge on each plate? + + Number i 1.648 Units C 30.0 A small plastic ball of mass 5.86 10-3 kg and charge +0.178 C is suspended from an insulating thread and hangs between the plates of a capacitor (see the drawing).
