Question

Assume the charged objects in the figure below are fixed. Notice that there is no sight line from the location of q2 to the location of q1. If you were at q1, you would be unable to see q2because it is behind q3. How would you calculate the electric force exerted on the object with charge q1?

Assume the charged objects in the figure below are fixed. Notice that there is no sight line from the location of q2 to the location of q1. If you were at q1, you would be unable to see q2because it is behind q3. How would you calculate the electric force exerted on the object with charge q1? a) Find only the force exerted by q2 on charge q1.b) Find only the force exerted by q3 on charge q1. c) Add the force that q2 would exert by itself on charge q1 to the force that q3 would exert by itself on charge q1.d) Add the force that q3 would exert by itself to a certain fraction of the force that q2 would exert by itself .e) There is no definite way to find the force on charge q1.

Explanation / Answer

c) Add the force that q2 would exert by itself on charge q1 to the force that q3 would exert by itself on charge q1.
