Figure 1) shows four electrical charges located at the corners of a rectangle. Like charges, you will recall, repel each other while opposite charges attract. Charge BB exerts a repulsive force (directly away from BB) on charge AA of 4.8 NN. Charge CC exerts an attractive force (directly toward CC) on charge AA of 9.6 NN. Finally, charge DD exerts an attractive force of 3.2 NN on charge AA.
(Figure 1) shows four electrical charges located at the corners of a rectangle. Like charges, you will recall, repel each other while opposite charges attract. Charge B exerts a repulsive force (directly away from B) on charge A of 3.0 N. Charge C exerts an attractive force (directly toward C) on charge A of 6.0 N. Finally, charge D exerts an attractive force of 2.0 N on charge A.
