Two charges, q1=-0.3mC and q2=--1.94mC are placed 12.02m apart from one another (mC stand for "milli-Coulomb"). What is the the electric force that q2 experiences due to the presence of q1? Note, if the force direction is "to the left" be sure to include a negative sign. If the direction of the force is "to the right", the force should be positive in sign.
Three charges are arranged as shown in the figure below. Find the magnitude and direction of the electrostatic force on the charge q = 4.76 nC at the origin. (Let r12 = 0.240 m.)Three point charges lie along the axes in the x y-coordinate plane.Positive charge q is at the origin.A charge of 6.00 nC is at (r1 2, 0), where r1 2 > 0.A charge of −3.00 nC is at (0, −0.100 m).

b) Calculate the net force (magnitude and direction) exerted on charge q by the other four charges, in terms of q, Q, d, and e0. You may draw the force vector to indicate the direction. c) If the charge q is released from rest, and the four other charges held fixed, will the charge q ever “escape” to infinitely far away (assuming an infinite amount of time can pass)? Justify your answer.
Consider the following figure. (The four charges are at the corners of a square. Take q = 1.11 µC and Q = 1.99 µC.) (a) In the figure, what are the magnitude and direction of the resultant force on q1? (Take q1 as the origin of the coordinate system and measure the angle counterclockwise from the positive x-axis, which is directed towards the right.) (b) What is the resultant force on the center of mass of the four charges?
