A little known unit of electric charge is the Bloobit A probe charge of-2 Bloobi

Question

A little known unit of electric charge is the Bloobit A probe charge of-2 Bloobits is placed at location x - 0 on the x-axis. An ACME force probe is used to find that the probe charge experiences a force of 0.86 N in the + x-direction due to a set of nearby source charges. Find the magnitude and direction of the electric field at location x = 0. Don't forget to include units in your answer. Explain and show your work The -2 Bloobit probe charge is removed, and replaced with a probe charge of 6 Bloobits. How. if at all. docs this affect the electric field at location x 0. Explain. Explain your reasoning and

Explanation / Answer

Apply F=q*E for the probe charge

0.86= 2*E; E= 0.43 N per bloobit

b. Doesn't affect the electric field at x=0 since the point charge is at x=0 there is no contribution frm the probe charge if it doesn't change the charge distribution of outer space. The electric force on the probe charge will get changed

2. electric filed by a charged sphere(outside) = kq/d2 k-electrc constant; q- charge

for the 1st case, E0 =k*3/d2 ----(A)

2nd case, E0= k*(7+3)/d12 ------(B)

From (A) and (B) d1= 1.826 x d
