Question

three charged particles are placed at the corners of anequilateral triangle of side 1.20 m. The charges are 4.0C,-8.0C, and -6.0C. Calculate the magnitude and directionof the net force on each due to the the other two. see question 17 of Giancoli sixth edition. three charged particles are placed at the corners of anequilateral triangle of side 1.20 m.

Explanation / Answer

a F1=k*q2*q3/r^2      (where k=8.99E9 Nm^2/C^2           r=1.2m) F2=k*q1*q3/r^2 F3=k*q1*q2/r^2 b V=k*(q1+q2+q3)/R (where R=0.5*r/cos30)
