Transcribed Image Text:### Diagram Explanation: Interaction of Charges
#### Description:
This diagram depicts the interaction between a proton (p) and two electrons (e). The proton is represented by a red sphere with a positive charge (+), and the electrons are represented by blue spheres with negative charges (-). The diagram shows the positions and angles related to the forces between these charges.
#### Components:
1. **Proton (p)**: Located at the bottom left and represented by a red sphere with a positive charge.
2. **Electron (e)**: Two electrons are present, located at the top and the bottom right, represented by blue spheres with negative charges.
#### Angles and Distances:
- A dashed line connects the proton and the electron to the right horizontally.
- Another dashed line connects the proton to the electron at the top.
- The angle formed between these two imaginary lines is 45 degrees.
#### Forces:
- The arrows pointing towards the proton from each electron indicate the direction of the attractive force due to the electrostatic interaction between unlike charges.
This diagram is significant for understanding the fundamental concepts of electrostatic forces between charged particles, demonstrating the angle and direction of forces in a multi-charge system.
