Question

Physics Two charged objects are separated by a distance of L=0.3020 m as shown in the diagram. Two charged objects are separated by a distance of L=0.3020 m as shown in the diagram. Object Q1 has a charge of +7.610 nC. Object Q2 has a charge of +2.510 nC. What is the magnitude and direction of the electric field at Point A, which is located a distance d=0.06342 m to the right of Object Q1? If you were to place an electron at Point A, what would be the magnitude and direction of the force on the electron?

Explanation / Answer

E = 9E9*7.61E-9/0.06342^2 - 9E9*2.51E-9/(0.302-0.06342)^2=16632 N/C

+ so to the right


F = qE = 1.6E-19*16632=2.66E-15 to the left
