Question

A charge $q_1 = +$5.00 nC is placed at the origin of an $xy$-coordinate system, and a charge $q_2 = -$2.00 nC is placed on the positive $x$-axis at $x = $4.00 cm. (a) If a third charge $q_3 = +$6.00 nC is now placed at the point $x =$ 4.00 cm, $y =$ 3.00 cm, find the $x$- and $y$-components of the total force exerted on this charge by the other two. (b) Find the magnitude and direction of this force.

Step 1

- q1 = +5.00 nC = +5.00×10^-9 C, q2 = -2.00×10^-9 C, q3 = +6.00×10^-9 C. - Positions: r1 = (0,0), r2 = (0.04 m, 0), r3 = (0.04 m, 0.03 m). - Coulomb constant k = 8.988×10^9 N·m^2/C^2. - Coulomb magnitude: F = k |q_i q_j| / r^2. Show more…
