Question


Three point charges are located at the corners of an equilateral triangle as in the figure below Find the magnitude and direction of the net electric force on the 1.30 K charge. Let A .30 μ B 7.30 yC, and C- -4.08 yC) 0.500 m 0.343 × Your response differs from the correct answer by more than 10%. Double check your calculations. N magnitude below the +x-axis

Answer #1

force between A and B is given by

Fab = k * 1.3* 7.3* 10^-12 / 0.5^2

Fab = 0.3416 N

force between A and C is

Fac = 9*10^9* 1.3* 4.08*10^-12 / 0.5^2

Fac = 0.1909 N

Angle between Fac and Fab = x = 180 - 60 = 120

net force acting on 1.3 uC

F^2 = Fab^2 + Fac^2 + 2 Fab Fac cos x

F^2 = 0.3416^2 + 0.1909^2 + 2* 0.3416*0.1909* cos 120

F = 0.2965 N
