Question
## Electric Field and Electric Force in a Square Configuration The figure below illustrates four small charged spheres positioned at the corners of a square with side length \( d = 25.0 \, \text{cm} \). ### Diagram ![Square Configuration](link-to-diagram) - \( q_1 = +4.00 \, \text{nC} \) - \( q_2 = +6.00 \, \text{nC} \) - \( q_3 = +9.00 \, \text{nC} \) (located at the origin) - \( q_4 = +5.00 \, \text{nC} \) The square's orientation is such that the \( +x \) axis extends to the right and the \( +y \) axis extends upward. ### Problem Statements **(a) Calculate the electric field at the location of the sphere with charge \( +9.00 \, \text{nC} \)** Express your answer in vector form: \[ \vec{E} = \, \boxed{\text{N/C}} \] **(b) Determine the total electric force exerted on the sphere with charge \( +9.00 \, \text{nC} \) by the other three spheres** Express your answer in vector form: \[ \vec{F} = \, \boxed{\text{N}} \] ### Conceptual Explanation In this exercise, the goal is to find the electric field and force acting on a specific charge \( q_3 \) due to the presence of three other charges arranged in a square configuration. The electric field \( \vec{E} \) at a point in space due to a point charge is calculated using Coulomb's law: \[ \vec{E} = k_e \frac{q}{r^2} \hat{r} \] where: - \( k_e \) is Coulomb’s constant \( \left( 8.99 \times 10^9 \, \text{N} \cdot \text{m}^2 / \text{C}^2 \right) \) - \( q \) is the charge - \( r \) is the distance between the charges - \( \hat{r} \) is the unit vector in the direction of the force The net electric field at the location of
