Question

Just 5(b)

Problems 5-6: Consider an arrangement of four point charges at corners of a square' of side s as shown. P5.(a) Let q +1.5 nC, +2.3 nC, ands 12 cm. Determine the force on an electron at the center of the square (b) Let q = + ! .5 nC, Q-_ 2.3 nC, and s = 12 cm. Determine the force on an electron at the center of the square 0 P6. For the conditions in P5(b), where could an electron be placed so that it experiences no acceleration?

Answer 1

Here we use the concept of field due to a charge distribution, force on a charge in an electric field and superposition principle of electric field.
