Do objects have energy because of their charge?

My gut feeling tells me things should have energy because of their charge, like they have energy because of their mass. Is this possible? Has it been shown? If not then what is missing to make such ...

How can I find the position of an image charge when the boundary is parabolic or hyperbolic?

If the position of some charge Q is known, the boundary condition is u=0 on some parabolic surface, and we know the image charge has its electric volume of Q', then how can I determine the position of ...

A ring placed along $y^2 + z^2 = 4$, $x = 0$ carries a uniform charge of $5 \mu\ C/m$. Find $D$ at $P(3,0,0)$ [closed]

A ring placed along $y^2 + z^2 = 4$, $x = 0$ carries a uniform charge of $5 \mu\ C/m$. Find $D$ at $P(3,0,0)$ How do I solve this using Coulomb's Law? I used $dE=\dfrac{dQ}{4\pi\epsilon_0 ...

Charges and Fields [closed]

Three charged particles lie along the x axis of a Cartesian coordinate system. q1 is located at x = 0, q2 lies at x and q3 lies at x = r. All three charges are positive, but only q2 is free to move. ...

Electric Field due to a charged sphere

Suppose we have a spherical surface with a surface charge density varying as $cos(\theta)$. Apparently one can find the electric field both outside and inside such a spherical surface by superposing ...

Noether theorem and classical proof of electric charge conservation

How to prove conservation of electric charge using Noether's theorem according to classical (non-quantum) mechanics? I know the proof based on using Klein–Gordon field, but that derivation use ...

Is there a minimum charge for the electroscope to work? [closed]

I built an electroscope, and I noticed that some charged objects didn't have enough charge to show any interaction. So i was wondering if there is a threshold minimum charge for the electroscope to ...

why dosen't a charged particle radiate energy in circular motion in a uniform magnetic field?

I have studied in my Physics course that one of the drawbacks of Rutherford's atomic model was that when an electron will revolve around the nucleus, it is undergoing acceleration and so it should ...

Gravity stronger than electromagnetic force in a black hole?

Well, the question has somewhat been answered before, but there's one part missing, which - I'd think - is in conflict with the physical laws. The earlier reply says that the gravitational pull even ...

Why are electric charges allowed to be so light but magnetic monopoles have to be so heavy?

My question is in two parts. What is the origin of the electric field from an electric charge and why electron can have so small mass? While on the other hand for a magnetic monopole to create a ...

Negative Mass and gravitation

Since Newtonian gravity is analogous to electrostatics shouldn't there be something called negative mass? Also, a moving charge generates electric field, but why doesn't a moving mass generate some ...

Charging a black hole?

What would happen if we have a black hole and we start shooting at it a single electron at a time, and go on doing it forever? Would the electrons start to bounce off eventually?
