Chargeq2in FIGUREP22.49is in equilibrium. What isq1?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Charge is-20nC.

Step by step solution

01

Calculation for force on charge

Two charged particles, one with a charge of q1.

And the other with a charge of q2, separated by a distance ofr.

The two particles exert forces on each other, with the force decreasing as the distance between them grows and increasing as the size of the charges increases.

FC=F1on2=F2on1=Kq1q2r2

Force for chargeq3andq2:

F→32=Kq3q2r322

=9.0×109N·m2/C25×10-9Cq2(0.1m)2

=4500q2

02

Calculation of charge

Force for charge q1andq2

F→12=Kq1q2r122

=9.0×109N·m2/C2q1q2(0.2m)2

=225×109q1q2

F→12=-F→32so,

F→12=-F→32

225×109q1q2=-4500q2

q1=-4500225×109

q1=-20×10-9C

q1=-20nC
