Question
Three point charges are fixed in place in a right triangle, as shown in the figure. What is the electric force on the $-0.60 \mu \mathrm{C}$ charge due to the other two charges?
Step 1
Put the -0.60 μC charge at a convenient origin (0,0). Let the other two charges be q2 at (x2,0) and q3 at (0,y3) (this places the right angle at the origin and aligns the legs with the x and y axes). Record the numeric values of q2, q3, x2, and y3 from the figure. Show more…
