Question

Three charges. q_1 = +q q_2 = -q and q_s = + q. are at the vertices of an equilateral triangle, as shown in the figure below. Rank the three charges in order of increasing magnitude of the electric force they experience. Indicate tics where appropriate. Give the direction angle. 0. of the net electric force experienced by charge 1. Note that the angle 0 is measured counterclockwise from the positive x axis. Give the direction angle. 0, of the net electric force experienced by charge 2. Note that the angle 0 is measured counterclockwise from the positive x axis. Give the direction angle. 0. of the net electric force experienced by charge 3. Note that the angle 0 is measured counterclockwise from the positive x axis.

Explanation / Answer

a) q2 > q1 = q2

b) theta1 = 300 degrees with +x axis

c) theta2 = 150 degrees with +x axis

d) theta3 = 0 degrees with +x axis
