Question

(a) Determine the electric field strength at a point 1.00 cm to the left of the middle charge shown in the figure below. (Enter the magnitude of the electric field only.) 20000000 N/C (b) If a charge of -6.84 mu C is placed at this point, what are the magnitude and direction of the force on it? Your response differs significantly from the correct answer. Rework your solution from the beginning and check each step carefully. N In the figure below, determine the point (other than infinity) at which the total electric field is zero. 1.83 m to the left of -2.5 times 10^-6 C charge

Explanation / Answer

F = qE

E = 2 x 10^6 V/m

q = -6.84 uC = 6.84 x 10^-6 C

F = 2 x 10^6 x 6.84 x 10^-6

F = 13.68 N
