Question

Part (a) of the figure shows two charged particles fixed in place on an x axis with separation L. The ratio q1/q2 of their charge magnitudes is 4.00. Part (b) of the figure shows the x component netX of their net electric field along the x axis just to the right of particle 2. The x axis scale is set by xs 32.7 cm. (a) At what value of x 0 is Enet,x E maximum? (b) If particle 2 has charge -3e, what is the value of that maximum? Assume e 1.602 x 10 c. x (cm) (a) (a) Number 0.557 Unit m i (b) Number Unit

Explanation / Answer

a) from the figure we can see that the the electric field is maximum at x = 32.7 cm

to answer b we would need the charge on the first particle.
