Question

Three point charges are arranged as shown in the figure below. Find the magnitude and direction of the electric force on the particle q 5.29 nC at the origin. (Let ri2 0.296 m.) 6.00 nC 0.100 m -3.00 nC step 1 The strategy to use when calculating the force exerted by a set of several point charges is to find first the forces exerted by each of the point charges individually. The force exerted by the entire set of chargés is the net force resulting from the forces exerted by the individual charges. The forces from the individual charges in this problem are shown in the diagram below. 12 0.100 The charge q, exerts a repulsive force F, on g, as shown in the diagram. The distance separating these charges is r1 0.296 m so the magnitude of this repulsive force is given by the following equation where ke is the Coutomb constant in SI units. * 10 1 (8.99 x 10, N- Type here to search
