Question

3. A point charge with charge +Q is placed midway between a +10 nC point charge and a rod with a uniform charge distribution. a. What is the direction of the net force exerted on charge +Q? Clearly explain your reasoning. b. What will happen to the magnitude and direction of the net force on charge +Q if the length of the rod is reduced by one third without reducing the total charge? Clearly explain your reasoning. ? = +10 nC/m 1 m +Q +10 nC d d

A point charge with charge +Q is placed midway between a +10 nC point charge and a rod with a uniform charge distribution. What is the direction of the net force exerted on charge +Q? Clearly explain your reasoning. What will happen to the magnitude and direction of the net force on charge +Q if the length of the rod is reduced by one third without reducing the total charge? Clearly explain your reasoning. λ = +10 nC/m +Q +10 nC
