Question

*****I keep getting 0.636m but it says that the answer iswrong, please help explain why*** force of repulsion between A and B = ke(q2 / x2) force of repulsion between A and C = ke(2q2 / x12) equilibrium of A and C, the forces should be equal          ke (q2 / x2)=  ke (2q2 /x12)              ( 1/ x2) =  (2 /x12)                2 x2 =   x12                x1 = (2) x                    = 1.414 * 0.45 m                    = 0.636 m the third charge must be placed at 0.636 m from the firstcharge force of repulsion between A and B = ke(q2 / x2) force of repulsion between A and C = ke(2q2 / x12) equilibrium of A and C, the forces should be equal          ke (q2 / x2)=  ke (2q2 /x12)              ( 1/ x2) =  (2 /x12)                2 x2 =   x12                x1 = (2) x                    = 1.414 * 0.45 m                    = 0.636 m the third charge must be placed at 0.636 m from the firstcharge force of repulsion between A and C = ke(2q2 / x12) equilibrium of A and C, the forces should be equal          ke (q2 / x2)=  ke (2q2 /x12)              ( 1/ x2) =  (2 /x12)                2 x2 =   x12                x1 = (2) x                    = 1.414 * 0.45 m                    = 0.636 m the third charge must be placed at 0.636 m from the firstcharge                x1 = (2) x                    = 1.414 * 0.45 m                    = 0.636 m the third charge must be placed at 0.636 m from the firstcharge

Explanation / Answer

force of repulsion between A and C = ke((2q)2 / x12) equilibrium of A and C, the forces should be equal          ke (q2 / x2)=  ke (4q2 /x12)              ( 1/ x2) =  (4 /x12)                4x2=   x12                x1 = (4) x                    = 2 * 0.45 m                    = 0.9 m the third charge must be placed at 0.9 m from the firstcharge. Hope this helps u!                x1 = (4) x                    = 2 * 0.45 m                    = 0.9 m the third charge must be placed at 0.9 m from the firstcharge. Hope this helps u!
