Question

Three charges are attached to the vertices of a triangle as shown in the figure below. Assume that the positions of the -0.6 pc and the +0.8 PC charges formed the+y-axis and the -0.6 pc and the +1.0 C charges formed the x-axis. +0.80 C 80 cm 10,0 cm -0.60 uc +1.0 C (*) Determine the x-coordinate of the +0.8 pc charge (*) Determine the y coordinate of the 0.8 C charge (c) Determine the coordinate of the +1.0 C charge. (d) Determine the y-coordinate of the +1.0 C charge. (e) Calculate the x-component of the force that the 1.0 C charge exerts on the +0.8 y charge 1) Calculate they component of the force that the +1.0 C charge exerts on the +0.8 C charge. N
