Question

A point charge q1 = -2.3 x 10^ -6 C is located at the origin of a co-ordinate system. Another point charge q2 = 6.3 x 10^-6 C is located along the x-axis at a distance x2 = 6.1 cm from q1. 1) What is F12,x, the value of the x-component of the force that q1 exerts on q2? 2) Charge q2 is now displaced a distance y2 = 2.4 cm in the positive y-direction. What is the new value for the x-component of the force that q1 exerts on q2 3) A third point charge q3 is now positioned halfway between q1 and q2. The net force on q2 now has a magnitude of F2,net = 10.116 N and points away from q1 and q3. What is the value (sign and magnitude) of the charge q3?

Explanation / Answer

1) F12 = 35.04 N 2) new F = 30.35 N Share: by email on facebook on twitter
