Problem 66 Hard Difficulty

Two small beads having positive charges $q_{1}=3 q$ and $q_{2}=q$ are fixed at the opposite ends of a horizontal insulating rod of length $d=1.50 \mathrm{m}$ . The bead with charge $q_{1}$ is at the origin. As shown in Figure $\mathrm{P} 15.66,$ a third small charged bead is free to slide on the rod. At what position $x$ is the third bead in equilibrium?

Answer

0.951 $\mathrm{m}$

Electric Charge

In physics, a charge is a physical property of matter that causes it to experience a force when placed in an electromagnetic field. Electric charge is a characteristic property of many subatomic particles, which determines their electromagnetic interactions. Electrically charged matter is influenced by, and produces, electromagnetic fields. The interaction between a moving charge and the electromagnetic field is the source of the electromagnetic force, which is one of the four fundamental forces.

The Electric Force

The electric force is a physical force exerted by electrically charged particles, and is the force responsible for a number of phenomena in electromagnetism. The electric force plays a major role in determining the internal properties of most objects encountered in daily life. The electric force is one of the four fundamental forces (the others are the strong force, the weak force, and gravity) of nature, and is responsible for a wide range of phenomena, such as the interactions between the components of atoms and molecules, and the formation of molecular bonds and chemical compounds. The electric force is carried by elementary particles called electrons, protons and neutrons. The electric force is responsible for maintaining the cohesion of atoms and molecules, and keeping atoms and molecules together, even though electrically neutral atoms tend to repel each other. The electric force is also responsible for the phenomenon of electricity, including lightning, static electricity, and the flow of electrical current in a conductor such as a wire. In addition, the electric force plays an essential role in maintaining the structure of matter, by keeping the nucleus of the atom together, and by preventing electrically neutral atoms from collapsing into each other.

Harris train Sledge died or discussion. Suppose you have a slight off road. Okay? No, Both the ends that is. Beads are two charges Q one and Q toe our line and the value off to one that is magnitude ask you. One is take you and the magnitude of Q two is you. Another charge. Q is free to move inboard direction and we have to find out the You're three do trees published? No, we have to find other dispense X at fridge. The electric field on this charge is Jiro. The total distance between charge Q one and Q two is these okay? And the value off B is 1.5 meter. We have to find out the X so basically electric field on this position from if I have named them one three. Okay, so electric field on three due to one is in this direction. An electric failed on fee due to two is in this direction solve. If both fields are equal, then only discharge country is in equilibrium position. So e three to magnet tool off this charge will be magnitude off eat even also, basically, it will be okay cure toe by B minus exc a whole square and 81 will be okay. You won B o x horse crap. Okay, so I gave it begins load and it will be cute by Q one d minus acts upon x Whole square value off Q two is que and value off Q one is trick you. So it really big d minus acts upon x whole square. So from here, you will be cancel out implies one upon route three B minus acts upon x so by a soldering this we will get here acts route three D minus 43 x and one of blessed would be x three d. So actually comes Toby. Look. 31 plus room three. And the value off the is one point five meter. So my soul in this, we will get a value off 0.95 meter. Well, this is all from me for this video. I hope you will like the video. Thank you.
