Question

Suppose you have 5 point charges q1 to q5 distributed along a semi-circle maintaining equal distance. The charge q6 is at the center of the circle. The radius of the semi-circle is R=44cm and the magnitude of the charges are as follows : q1=q5=20μC, q2=q4=38μC and q3=q6=−38μC.

a) Find the vector that points from q1 to q6 and call it r⃗1,6.

x component of the vector
y component of the vector
 
b) Calculate the coulomb force on q6 due to q1 in unit vector notation and call it F⃗1,6
