Question

A charge of $-$3.00 nC is placed at the origin of an $xy$-coordinate system, and a charge of 2.00 nC is placed on the $y$-axis at $y =$ 4.00 cm. (a) If a third charge, of 5.00 nC, is now placed at the point $x =$ 3.00 cm, $y =$ 4.00 cm, find the $x$- and $y$-components of the total force exerted on this charge by the other two charges. (b) Find the magnitude and direction of this force.

Step 1

We have a charge of -3.00 nC at the origin of the xy-coordinate system, a charge of 2.00 nC on the y-axis at y = 4.00 cm, and a third charge of 5.00 nC at the point x = 3.00 cm, y = 4.00 cm. Show more…
