Question

Consider two point charges located on the x axis: one charge, q1 = -13.5 nC , is located at x1 = -1.715 m ; the second charge, q2 = 32.0 nC , is at the origin (x=0.0000). What is the net force exerted by these two charges on a third charge q3 = 47.5 nC placed between q1 and q2 at x3 = -1.155 m ? Your answer may be positive or negative, depending on the direction of the force. Express your answer numerically in newtons to three significant figures.

Step 1

The formula for the force between two charges is given by Coulomb's law: F = k * |q1*q2| / r^2 where k is Coulomb's constant (8.99 * 10^9 N m^2/C^2), q1 and q2 are the charges, and r is the distance between the charges. Show more…
