Question

*Please show all working step by step with clarity!

Three charges are placed as shown in the figure below. It is known that the magnitude of q1 is 4.00 mu C. but its sign and the value of the charge q2 are not known. The charge q3 equals +2.00 mu C, and the resultant force F on q3 is measured to be entirely in the negative x-direction. Considering the different possible signs of q1 and q2, there are four possible force diagrams representing the forces F1 and F2. that q1 and q2 exert on q3. Sketch these four possible force configurations.

Explanation / Answer

Q1 is -ve

Q2 is +ve

for force in -x direction

cannot insert diagram die to errors

q1 will pulls and q2 will push q3

so the resultant force in in -x direction
