Please answer question #1. Thank you.
A positive charge q is placed on the y -axis at the location y = a. Another positive charge is placed on the y -axis at the location y = -a. A third, negative charge -q is placed on the x-axis at location P. Which of the following statements about the electric force on the charge at point P is correct? Because of symmetry, there is no x-component to the electric force Because of symmetry, there is no y-component to the electric force Even though there is symmetry, there are still both x- and y-components to the electric force There is no symmetry to this problem Charge A, a charge of +2.00 mu C, is placed at the origin. charge B, a charge of-3.00 mu C, is placed on the x-axis at x = 1.00 m. charge C, a charge of-4.00 mu C, is placed on the x-axis at x = -1.00 m, what is the total force on Charge A? (That is, how many Newtons of force, and does it point in the +x direction or in the -x direction?)Explanation / Answer
Answer is B) because of symetry, there is no y- component to the electric field. As magnitude of force on negative charge due to other charges will be same but y component of forces cancel each other finaly foce on negative charge will be in neative x axis
