Question
The three charge configurations are shown in the figure. For the values of q1=3.5uC, q2=-3.5 uC and g3=5 uC. The net-Forces of the three charges is calculated at q3. (Note: u=micro= 10^-6
What is the magnitude of the net-force on q3 due to q1 and q2?

Transcribed Image Text:The image depicts a diagram of three point charges and vectors indicating forces between them.
**Diagram Details:**
1. **Charges:**
- \( q_1 = -3.5 \, \mu C \) positioned at the top-left corner.
- \( q_2 = -3.5 \, \mu C \) positioned at the bottom-left corner.
- \( q_3 = 5 \, \mu C \) located on the right side.
2. **Positions:**
- \( q_1 \) and \( q_2 \) are aligned vertically, each 0.3 meters from the origin on the y-axis.
- \( q_3 \) is horizontally positioned 0.4 meters to the right of the origin along the x-axis.
3. **Forces:**
- Force \( F_1 \) is directed from \( q_1 \) towards \( q_3 \).
- Force \( F_2 \) is directed from \( q_2 \) towards \( q_3 \).
- Both forces form angles labeled \( \theta \) with the horizontal axis.
**Layout:**
- The diagram is on a grid background for clarity of distance measurement.
- Dotted lines represent the paths of the forces \( F_1 \) and \( F_2 \) converging toward \( q_3 \).
This configuration can be used to study the interactions and resultant forces on the charges due to Coulomb's law in two dimensions.
