Question

Three point charges areplaced on the x-axis. Charge 1 is located at x = a and has a chargeof +5q, charge
2 is at x = 3a and has a charge of +3q, charge 3 is at x = 5a andhas a charge of +5q. A fourth charge is
located on the y-axis at (0,a) and has a charge of +2q.
(a) Sketch the charge configuration. Show (and label) the electricfield vectors produced by each of of the
charges at the point (3a, a). Show and label all distances, angles,etc. you need to in working the remaining
parts of the problem.
(b) Find the y-component of the electric field at point (3a,a).
(c) Find the x-component of the electric field at the origin.
(d) A charge (charge= +q) is placed at (3a, a), find thex-component and y-component of the force on the
charge. Give magnitude of the force.
