Question

6. (5 pts) (Chapts 22 & 23 LO 1) In the coordinate system given, what is the total, or net, electric field vector at a point r12 4.07 m to the right of a point particle with a -charge q,-4.66 C and ri,-5.75 m to the left of a point particle with a charge gs = 5.52 C as shown in the figure below? point 42 43 12 13 7. (5 pts) (Chapts 22 & 23 LO 1) Finally, if a point particle with a charge qi =-1.84 C is placed at the point indicated in Problem 6, what is the electric force, or Coulomb force vector on this particle in the coordinate system given?

Explanation / Answer

6) Electric field due to q2 at point P = kq / r^2

= 9*10^9*4.66*10^-6 / 4.07^2

= 2531.86 N/C ( +ve x-direction)

EF due to q3 at point P = 9*10^9*5.52*10^-6 / 5.75^2

= 1502.6 N/C ( in -ve x-direction)

Net EF at point P = 2531.86 - 1502.6 = 1029.25 N/C

7)force on q1 = q1E = 1.84*10^-6*1029.25 = 1.9*10^-3 N

direction will be -ve x-direction
