Question

The drawing shows an equilateral triangle, each side of which has a length of 2.12 cm. Point charges are fixed to each corner, as shown. The 4.00 $\mu$C charge experiences a net force due to the charges $q_A$ and $q_B$. This net force points vertically downward and has a magnitude of 666 N. Determine the charge $q_A$, in microCoulombs, $\mu$C. +4.00 $\mu$C

Step 1

We have an equilateral triangle with side length $r = 2.12$ cm $= 0.0212$ m. There are three charges at the corners: 1. Top charge: $Q = +4.00 \, \mu C = +4.00 \times 10^{-6}$ C. 2. Bottom-left charge: $q_A$. 3. Bottom-right charge: $q_B$. The net force on the Show more…
