Four point charges with charge +q=6.7µC are arranged in a square of side length L = 5.0 cm in the x/y plane. A fifth point charge -q=-6.7µC is placed in the center of the square but displaced a distance d3.6 cm in the z direction. What is the net force on the negative point charge?

Expert Solution

Step 1 explanation
Suppose the negative charge was initially at the center of the square. then the coordinates of the charges are
A(-L/2,L/2,0)
B(L/2,L/2,0)
C(L/2,-L/2,0)
D(-L/2,-L/2,0)
Force on charges is
......(1)
when the negative charge is displaced its coordinates becomes
E(0,0,3.6)
