In Fig. 21-29a, three positively charged particles are fixed on an x-axis. Particles Band Care so close to each other that they can be considered to be at the same distance from particle A. The net force on particle Adue to particles Band Cis 2.0141023Nin the negative direction of the x-axis. In Fig. 21- 29b, particle Bhas been moved to the opposite side of Abut is still at the same distance from it. The net force on Ais now2.8771024N in the negative direction of the x-axis. What is the ratio qC/qB?

Short Answer

The value of the ratio of the chargesqC/qBis1.33

Step by step solution

01

The given data

The net force on particle A is2.0141023Nin the negative direction of the x-axis.

The net force on A is2.8771023Nin the negative direction of the x-axis.

02

Understanding the concept of Coulomb’s law

Using the same concept of Coulomb's law, we can get the proportionality relation of charge and force. Hence, this is used to find the required ratio of the charges.

Formula:

The magnitude of the electrostatic force between any two particles,

F=k|q1||q2|r2 (1)

03

Calculation of the ratio  qC/qB

Since the forces involved are proportional to q, we see that the essential difference between the two situations is FaqB+qC (when those two charges are on the same side) versus FbqB+qC (when they are on opposite sides). Setting up ratios considering the equation (1), we have the given relation:

FaFb=qB+qCqB+qC2.0141023N2.8771023N=1+qC/qB1+qC/qB7=1+qC/qB1+qC/qB

Therefore,

qCqB=7+171=1.33

Hence, the value of the required ratio is 1.33

The initial charges on the three identical metal spheres in Fig. 21-24 are the following: sphere A, Q; sphere B, Q/4; and sphere C, Q/2, where Q=2.001014C. Spheres Aand Bare fixed in place, with a center-to-center separation of d=1.20m, which is much larger than the spheres. Sphere Cis touched first to sphere Aand then to sphere Band is then removed. What then is the magnitude of the electrostatic force between spheres Aand B?

Three charged particles form a triangle: particle 1 with chargeQ1=80.0nCis at x ycoordinates (0,3.00mm), particle 2 with chargeQ2is at (0,3.00mm), and particle 3 with chargeq=18.0ncis at (4.00mm,0). In unit-vector notation, what is the electrostatic force on particle 3 due to the other two particles ifQ2is equal to (a)80.0nCand (b)80.0nC?

The charges and coordinates of two charged particles held fixed in an x-yplane are q1=+3.0mC,x1=3.5cm,y1=0.50cm,and q2=-4.0mC,x2=-2.0cm,y2=1.5cm.Find the (a) magnitude and (b) direction of the electrostatic force on particle 2 due to particle 1. At what (c) xand (d) ycoordinates should a third particle of charge q3=+4.0 mC be placed such that the net electrostatic force on particle 2 due to particles 1 and 3 is zero?

A current of 0.300Athrough your chest can send your heart into fibrillation, ruining the normal rhythm of heartbeat and disrupting the flow of blood (and thus oxygen) to your brain. If that current persists for2.00min, how many conduction electrons pass through your chest?

In the radioactive decay of Eq. 21-13, a U238 nucleus transforms

toTh234and an ejectedHe4. (These are nuclei, not atoms, and thus

electrons are not involved.) When the separation between and

4He is9.01015m, what are the magnitudes of (a) the electrostatic

force between them and (b) the acceleration of the particle?
