Question
Particle A of charge 4.00 10-4 C is at the origin, particle B of charge -9.00 10-4 C is at (3.00 m, 0) and particle C of charge 4.00 10-4 C is at (0, 6.00 m).a.) Calculate the x-component of the force exerted by B on C.
b.) Calculate the y-component of the force exerted by B on C.
c.) Sum the two x-components to obtain the resultant x-component of the electric force acting on C.
d.) Repeat part (f) for the y-component.
e.) Find the magnitude and direction of the resultant electric force acting on C. Now find the direction counterclockwise from the positive x-axis
Explanation / Answer
a) 297.45 N b)594.9 N c)297.45 N(POSITIVE X -AXIS) d)200.47 N(NEGATIVE Y AXIS) e)RESULTANT FORCE = 665.118 N DIRECTION = 296.56 DEGREE
