Force diagram for the given problem is shown below ;
Where, is force on the charge due to the charge
is force on the charge due to the charge
is force on the charge due to the charge
Given, = - 9 x 10-6 C located at origin
= -10 x 10-6 C located at A (0 , 9.9 cm) or A (0 , 9.9 x 10-2 m)
= 8 x 10-6 C located at C (0 , -3.2 cm) or C (0 , -3.2 x 10-2 m)
= 4 x 10-6 C located at B (9.7 cm , 0) or B (9.7 x 10-2 m , 0)
The electrostatic force between two charge particles q and Q and separated by a distance r is given by
where,
Using this formula we can calculate the magnitude of force acting on due to all other particles. (here i am only calculating the magnitude of forces. So, i will not consider the polarity of charges. The direction of force is already shown in the diagram).
where, OA = 9.9 x 10-2 m
So,
In vector notation :
and
Now, OA + OC = (9.9 + 3.2) x 10-2 m = 13.1 x 10-2 m
So,
In vector notation
And finally
In the right angle triangle AOB , AB is the hypotenuse of the triangle.
So,,
So,
And, from the figure
or,
So, in vector notation can be written as
or,
or, (in N)
So, total electric force on can be given as
or,
or,
So, magnitude of total electric force on is
For any doubt please comment and please give an up vote. Thank you.
