Question
The following 5 charges are arranged on the corners and the center of a square as shown. Evaluate the direction of the forces listed. Note that these forces are specifically the force of one charged object on a different charged object, not the force from all of the charged objects on another. If the force is zero, select No Force. +, - and 0 represent positive, negative and neutrally charged objects, respectively.
Label each statement with one of the following:
Right
Left
No Force
1. The force due to Object 3 on Object 2.
2. The force due to Object 5 on Object 1.
3. The force due to Object 2 on Object 4.
4. The force due to Object 4 on Object 1.
5. The force due to Object 1 on Object 3.
6. The force due to Object 4 on Object 3.
Explanation / Answer
Solution:- 1. Force of attraction towards charge 3 (Charge 3 attract neutral charge 2) .
2. Force of repulsion (downwards)
3. (Charge 4 attract neutral charge 2 towards charge 4)
4. Force of attraction towards charge 4 (Charge 4 attract charge 1).
5. Charge 4 repel charge 3 and attract charge 1. Hence charge 1 will move towards charge 3.
6. Force of repulsion (Charge 4 repel charge 3). Direction towards 3
