Assume that a honeybee is a sphere of diameter 1 . 0 2 7 c m with a charge of + 4 7 . 3

Assume that a honeybee is a sphere of diameter 1.027cm with a charge of +47.3pC uniformly spread over its surface. Assume also that a spherical pollen grain of diameter 40.6m is electrically held on the surface of the honeybee because the bee's charge induces a charge of -1.02pC on the near side of the grain and a charge of +1.02pC on the far side. (a) What is the magnitude of the net electrostatic force on the grain due to the bee? Next, assume that the bee brings the grain to a distance of 1.021mm from the tip of a flower's stigma (it is a distance between the tip of stigma and nearest point of the grain surface) and that the tip is a particle of charge -47.3pC.(b) What is the magnitude of the net electrostatic force on the grain due to the stigma? (c) Does the grain remain on the bee or does it move to the stigma?
