Question

rina me ner esecrC TOrce me wo cnarges woua exert on an electron placea at point on tne x-aXIS at = 1.2u m. Express your answer with the appropriate units. Enter positive value if the force is in the positive z-direction and negative value if the force is in the negative r-direction. Constants A-4.00 nCpoint charge is at the origin, and a second 6.50 nC point charge is on the z-axis at x = 0.800 m. F-6.24x1017N Correct Part F Find the net electric force that the two charges would exert on an electron placed at point on the z-axis at-0.200 m Express your answer with the appropriate units. Enter positive value if the force is in the positive z-direction and negative value if the force is in the negative c-direction. - 9.36-10-18N Submit Previous Answers Request Answer XIncorrect; Try Again; 4 attempts remaining Provide Feedback Next >

Explanation / Answer


q1 = -4 *10^-9 C

q2 = -6.5 *10^-9 C

q3( electron) = -1.6 *10^-19 C

q1 exerts a force of repulsion on q3 directed along -x axis

F1x = -k*q1*q3/r13^2 = -9*10^9*4*10^-9*1.6*10^-19/(-0.2-0)^2 = -1.44*10^-16 N

q2 exerts a force of repulsion on q3 directed along -x axis

F2x = -k*q2*q3/r23^2 = -9*10^9*6.5*10^-9*1.6*10^-19/(-0.2-0.8)^2 = -9.36*10^-18 N


Fx = F1x + F2x = 1.53*10^-16 N
