We have that the electric field at the center of the metal ball due only to the charges on the surface of the metal ball is
From the question we are told that
A solid metal ball of radius 1.5 cm
bearing a charge of -15 nC is located near a hollow plastic ball of radius 1.9 cm bearing
uniformly distributed charge of -7 nC
The distance between the centers of the balls is 9 cm
Generally the equation for the electric field is mathematically given as

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the conservation of angular momentum. This can be expressed mathematically as a function of inertia and angular velocity, that is:
Where,
I = Moment of Inertia
= Angular Velocity
For the given object the moment of inertia is equivalent to
Considering that the moment of inertia varies according to distance, and that there are two of these without altering the mass we will finally have to
Our values are given as,
Replacing we have,
Therefore the angular speed after the catch slips is 0.2rad/s
