A +2nC point charge is located in between a +5nC charged flat plate of area 1.2m2 and another point charge of -3nC. The latter is located 6mm to the right of the first (+2nC) point charge, along a line that intersects the plate at 90o. The plate is located 4.3mm from the first, (+2nC) charge. A) What is the total electric force exerted on the +2nC charge? B) What is the total electric force exerted on the -3nC charge? C) What is the total electric field “seen” by the +2nC charge, as generated by the -3nC and +5nC objects?

A) What is the total electric force exerted on the +2nC charge?
B) What is the total electric force exerted on the -3nC charge?
C) What is the total electric field “seen” by the +2nC charge, as generated by the -3nC and
+5nC objects?
D) What is the total electric field (magnitude and direction) “seen” by the +2nC charge, as
generated by the -3nC and +5nC objects?
E) What is the electric field generated by flat plate (magnitude and direction), a distance
0.5mm away from it?
F) What is the total electric field (magnitude and direction) generated by all three charges, at
a location 2mm to the right of the -3nC charge?
