Question

The figure shows a test charge q between the two positive charges. Find the force (in newtons) on the test charge for q = 5 µC. Give a positive answer if the force is to the right and a negative answer if the force is to the left.

For the previous question, find the electric field (in newtons/coulomb) at the position of the test charge. Again, supply a positive value if the electric field points to the right and a negative value if it points to the left. Do not include units with your answer.

9 3 HC 3 cm 2 cm The figure shows a test charge q between the two positive charges. Find the force (in newtons) on the test charge for q 5 HC. Give a positive answer if the force is to the right and a negative answer if the force is to the left. (Reminder: NEVER include units with ANY submission to a numerical question.)

Explanation / Answer

Here ,

as the force between two charges is given as

F = k * q1 * q2/d^2

q = 5 uC

for the net force

Fnet = 9*10^9 * 5 *10^-6 * 10^-6 *(-3/0.02^2 + 2/.03^2 )

Fnet = -237.5 N

the force acting on the charge q is -237.5 N
