Question

Transcribed Image Text:**Arrangement of Charges**
Three charges are arranged linearly, with each charge being 2 meters apart. All charges have a magnitude of 1 Coulomb, with specific signs indicated:
1. A positive charge (+1 C)
2. Another positive charge (+1 C)
3. A negative charge (-1 C)
Each charge is spaced 2 meters from the neighboring charge. The arrangement looks as follows:
- The first charge is +1 C.
- 2 meters to the right, the second charge is another +1 C.
- 2 meters further to the right, the third charge is -1 C.
**Questions:**
3) **The magnitude of the net force on the middle charge is:**
- a. Zero
- b. \(4.5 \times 10^9 \, \text{N}\)
- c. \(2.3 \times 10^9 \, \text{N}\)
- d. \(2.8 \times 10^9 \, \text{N}\)
- e. \(1.7 \times 10^9 \, \text{N}\)
4) **The potential energy of this arrangement of charges is:**
- a. Zero
- b. \(4.5 \times 10^9 \, \text{J}\)
- c. \(-2.3 \times 10^9 \, \text{J}\)
- d. \(1.1 \times 10^{10} \, \text{J}\)
- e. \(-6.8 \times 10^9 \, \text{J}\)
This exercise tests understanding of electrostatic force and potential energy in a system of point charges.
