Question

Three point charges are located along the x-axis. Point charge q1 = +3.5 x 10^-6 C is at x=0, point charge q2 = +8.5 x 10^-6 C is at x=2.0 m, and a point charge q3 = -5.0 x 10^-6 C is at x=3.0 m. Find the resultant electric force on q2?

Step 1

We can use Coulomb's Law to find the electric force between two charges: $$F = k \frac{|q1 \cdot q2|}{r^2}$$ where F is the electric force, k is Coulomb's constant ($8.99 \times 10^9 Nm^2/C^2$), q1 and q2 are the charges, and r is the distance between the Show more…
