What is the force Fon the -10nCcharge in FIGURE P22.41? Give your answer as a magnitude and an angle measured cw or ccw (specify which) from the +x-axis.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The value of force is 4.3×10-3Nand the angle is 73°,is counter clockwise to the x-axis.

Step by step solution

01

Calculation for angle

Columns law force is,

FC=F1on2=F2on1

=Kq1q2r2

For charge q1and q2the force is,

F→12=Kq1q2r2j^

=9.0×109N·m2/C2-10×10-9C5×10-9C(0.01m)2j^

=-4.5×10-3j^N

The distance of charges is,

r13=(1cm)2+(3cm)2

=3.16cm

Force on charge q1and q3is,

F13=Kq1q3r132

=9.0×109N·m2/C2-10×10-9C-15×10-9C(0.0316m)2

=1.35×10-3N

Angle for negative direction is,

θ=tan-1oppositeadjacent

=tan-11cm3cm

=18.4°

Angle for negative direction is,

θ=180°-18.4°

=161.6°

02

Step 2: 

In vector form,

F→13=F13cos161.6°i^+Esin161.6oj^

=1.35×10-3Ncos161.6oi^+1.35×10-3Nsin161.6oj^

=(-1.28i^+0.43j^)×10-3N

Net charge for all charges is,

Fnet=F→122+F→132

=0N+-1.28×10-3N2i^+-4.5×10-3N+0.43×10-3N2j^

=4.3×10-3N

Angle of direction is,

α=tan-1-4.5×10-3N+0.43×10-3Nj^0N+-1.28×10-3Ni^

=73°

Counter clockwise direction.
