Question

Constants Part A Two point charges, Q1--3.7 HC and 02 -1.6 C are located between two oppositely charged parallel plates as shown in the figure(Figure 1). The two charges are separated by a distance of 0.35 m. Assume that the electric field produced by the charged plates is uniform and equal to E 6.2x104 N/C Calculate the magnitude of the net electrostatic force on Q Express your answer using two significant figures Submit Request Answer Figure Part B Give its direction 01 Q2 O to the left O to the right Submit Request Answer Provide Feedback

Explanation / Answer

froce exerted by plate F1x = -E*Q1   ( to the left)

F1x = -6.2*10^4*3.7*10^-6 N

F1x = -0.2294 N

force exertred by Q2 F2x = +k*Q1*Q2/x^2 ( to the right )

F2x = +9*10^9*3.7*10^-6*1.6*10^-6/0.35^2

F2x = 0.435 N

net electrostatic force Fnet = F1x + F2x

Fnet = 0.2056 N
