Question

There are no results for Particles q1 = -66.3 UC, q2 = +108 uC, and 93 = -43.2 uC are in a line. Particles q1 and q2 are separated by 0.550 m and particles q2 and q3 are separated by 0.550 m. What is the net force on particle q2? Remember: Negative forces (-F) will point Left Positive forces (+F) will point Right + 108 MC 92 -43.2 MC 93 0.550 m -66.3 MC 91 0.550 m

Answer 1

To find the net force on particle q2, use Coulomb's Law to calculate the forces between the charged particles q1, q2, and q3. Subtract the force exerted by q1 from the force exerted by q3 to get the net force on q2.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the net force on particle q2, we need to calculate the forces exerted on it by particles q1 and q3. We'll use Coulomb's Law to calculate the force between each pair of particles.

1. First, calculate the force between q1 and q2 using Coulomb's Law: F1 = k * |q1 * q2| / r12^2, where k is the electrostatic constant (9 * 10^9 N m^2/C^2), q1 and q2 are the charges, and r12 is the distance between them.
2. Next, calculate the force between q2 and q3 using the same formula: F2 = k * |q2 * q3| / r23^2, where r23 is the distance between q2 and q3.
3. Finally, subtract the force F1 from the force F2 to find the net force on q2: Net Force = F2 - F1.
