Question

Three charges lie in the plane in a vacuum as shown. The distance between q₁ and q₂ is 5.0 cm while the distance between q₂ and q₃ is 7.5 cm. If q₁= +3.0 nC, q₂= -1.5 nC and q₃= +2.0 nC, find the magnitude and direction of the net electrostatic force on q₂. (Note: 1 nC= 1 × 10⁻⁹ C)

 

1. Three charges lie in the plane in a vacuum as
shown. The distance between q, and q, is 5.0 cm
while the distance between q, and q, is 7.5cm. If q,=
93
+3.0 nC, q,= -1.5nC and q,- +2.0 nC, find the
magnitude and direction of the net electrostatic force
113°
on q,. (Note:1 nC= 1 x 10° C)
