Let's consider an alternative but equivalent way to compute F12 that does not require expliot knowledge of the unit vector . You methods are mathematically equivalent. comfortable both with the steps you just completed above, as well as what you are about to see Delow. The need to be 1.6.2 rhe orce has twa nm ative camponents, and F Let's start with a sketch ofthe electrostatic orce on partide #1 and let sin ud。th two components of hat orce ın he ske ch sac Fig. geometry shown in the figure, you can see that ф-26.57" makes an e as me asured below he X drection.
