Chapter 22, Problem 36AP

Two point charges qA = −12.0 μC and qB = 45.0 μC and a third particle with unknown charge qC are located on the x axis. The particle qA is at the origin, and qB is at x = 15.0 cm. The third particle is to be placed so that each particle is in equilibrium under the action of the electric forces exerted by the other two particles. (a) Is this situation possible? If so, is it possible in more than one way? Explain. Find (b) the required location and (c) the magnitude and the sign of the charge of the third particle.

A small, rigid object carries positive and negative 2.50-nC charges. It is oriented so that the positive charge has coordinates (−1.20 mm, 1.50 mm) and the negative charge is at the point (1.80 mm, −1.30 mm). (a) Find the electric dipole moment of the object. The object is placed in an electric field E= (7.80 103î − 4.90 103ĵ) N/C. (b) Find the torque acting on the object.(c) Find the potential energy of the object–field system when the object is in this orientation.(d) Assuming the orientation of the object can change, find the difference between the maximum and the minimum potential energies of the system.
Two point charges are fixed on the y axis: a negative point charge q₁ = -32 µC at y₁ = +0.21 m and a positive point charge q2 at y2 = +0.38 m. A third point charge q = +8.2 µC is fixed at the origin. The net electrostatic force exerted on the charge q by the other two charges has a magnitude of 28 N and points in the +y direction. Determine the magnitude of 92. 92
