Question

Consider two point charges located on the x-axis: one charge, q₁ = -19.0 nC, is located at x₁ = -1.675 m; the second charge, q₂ = 37.5 nC, is at the origin (x = 0). What is (F_net₃)ₓ, the x-component of the net force exerted by these two charges on a third charge q₃ = 47.5 nC placed between q₁ and q₂ at x₃ = -1.210 m?

Step 1

The distance between q1 and q3 is: r_13 = |x_3 - x_1| = |-1.210 - (-1.675)| = 0.465 m The distance between q2 and q3 is: r_23 = |x_3 - x_2| = |-1.210 - 0| = 1.210 m Now, we can find the force between each pair of charges using Coulomb's Law: F = k * |q1 * q2| Show more…
