(II) Particles of charge +65, +48, and -95 uC are placed in a line (Fig. 16鈥52). The center one is 0.35 m from each of the others. Calculate the net force on each charge due to the other two.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The net force on each charge is\( - 115.6\;{\rm{N}}\),\(563.4\;{\rm{N}}\) and \( - 447.8\;{\rm{N}}\), respectively.

Step by step solution

01

Understanding the electric force

A point charge exerts an electric force on another point charge in the vicinity. It could be attractive as well as repulsive depending upon the nature of the two charges.

The expression for the electric force is given as:

\(F = k\frac{{{Q_1}{Q_2}}}{{{r^2}}}\) 鈥 (i)

Here, k is the Coulomb鈥檚 constant,\({Q_1},\;{Q_2}\)are the charges and r is the separation between the charges.

02

Given Data

The charge of particle 1 is \({q_1} = 65\;{\rm{\mu C}}\).

The charge of particle 2 is \({q_2} = 48\;{\rm{\mu C}}\).

The charge of particle 3 is \({q_3} = 95\;{\rm{\mu C}}\).

The separation distance between 1 and 2 is, \(r = 0.35\;{\rm{m}}\).

The total distance between 1 and 3 is, \({r_0} = 0.7\;{\rm{m}}\).

03

Determination of the electric force on charge 1

From equation (i), the expression to find the force on charge one is given as:

\({F_1} = \frac{{k{q_1}{q_2}}}{{{r^2}}} + \frac{{k{q_1}{q_3}}}{{{r_0}^2}}\)

Substitute the values in the above expression.

\(\begin{aligned}{l}{F_1} = - \left( {8.988 \times {{10}^9}\;{\rm{N}} \cdot {{\rm{m}}^{\rm{2}}}{\rm{/}}{{\rm{C}}^{\rm{2}}}} \right)\left( {\frac{{\left( {65 \times {{10}^{ - 6}}\;{\rm{C}}} \right)\left( {48 \times {{10}^{ - 6}}\;{\rm{C}}} \right)}}{{{{\left( {0.35\;{\rm{m}}} \right)}^2}}} + \frac{{\left( {65 \times {{10}^{ - 6}}\;{\rm{C}}} \right)\left( {95 \times {{10}^{ - 6}}\;{\rm{C}}} \right)}}{{{{\left( {0.7\;{\rm{m}}} \right)}^2}}}} \right)\\{F_1} = - 115.6\;{\rm{N}}\end{aligned}\)

Thus, the net force on charge 1 is \( - 115.6\;{\rm{N}}\) towards the left.

04

Determination of the electric force on charge 2

From equation (i), the expression to find the force on charge two is given as:

\({F_2} = \frac{{k{q_1}{q_2}}}{{{r^2}}} + \frac{{k{q_2}{q_3}}}{{{r^2}}}\)

Substitute the values in the above expression.

\(\begin{aligned}{l}{F_2} = \left( {8.988 \times {{10}^9}\;{\rm{N}} \cdot {{\rm{m}}^{\rm{2}}}{\rm{/}}{{\rm{C}}^{\rm{2}}}} \right)\left( {\frac{{\left( {65 \times {{10}^{ - 6}}\;{\rm{C}}} \right)\left( {48 \times {{10}^{ - 6}}\;{\rm{C}}} \right)}}{{{{\left( {0.35\;{\rm{m}}} \right)}^2}}} + \frac{{\left( {48 \times {{10}^{ - 6}}\;{\rm{C}}} \right)\left( {95 \times {{10}^{ - 6}}\;{\rm{C}}} \right)}}{{{{\left( {0.35\;{\rm{m}}} \right)}^2}}}} \right)\\{F_2} = 563.4\;{\rm{N}}\end{aligned}\)

Thus, the net force on charge 2 is \(563.4\;{\rm{N}}\) towards the right.

05

Determination of the electric force on charge 3

From equation (i), the expression to find the force on charge three is given as:

\({F_3} = \frac{{k{q_1}{q_3}}}{{{r_0}^2}} + \frac{{k{q_2}{q_3}}}{{{r^2}}}\)

Substitute the values in the above expression.

\(\begin{aligned}{l}{F_3} = - \left( {8.988 \times {{10}^9}\;{\rm{N}} \cdot {{\rm{m}}^{\rm{2}}}{\rm{/}}{{\rm{C}}^{\rm{2}}}} \right)\left( {\frac{{\left( {65 \times {{10}^{ - 6}}\;{\rm{C}}} \right)\left( {95 \times {{10}^{ - 6}}\;{\rm{C}}} \right)}}{{{{\left( {0.35\;{\rm{m}}} \right)}^2}}} + \frac{{\left( {48 \times {{10}^{ - 6}}\;{\rm{C}}} \right)\left( {95 \times {{10}^{ - 6}}\;{\rm{C}}} \right)}}{{{{\left( {0.35\;{\rm{m}}} \right)}^2}}}} \right)\\{F_3} = - 447.8\;{\rm{N}}\end{aligned}\)

Thus, the net force on charge 3 is \( - 447.8\;{\rm{N}}\) towards the left.

A point charge of mass 0.185 kg, and net charge\( + {\bf{0}}{\bf{.340 }}\mu {\bf{C}}\)hangs at rest at the end of an insulating cord above a large sheet of charge. The horizontal sheet of fixed uniform charge creates a uniform vertical electric field in the vicinity of the point charge. The tension in the cord is measured to be 5.18 N. Calculate the magnitude and direction of the electric field due to the sheet of charge (Fig. 16鈥67).

FIGURE 16鈥67 Problem 61.

A negative point charge is in an electric field created by a positive point charge. Which of the following is true?

(a) The field points toward the positive charge, and the force on the negative charge is in the same direction as the field.

(b) The field points toward the positive charge, and the force on the negative charge is in the opposite direction to the field.

(c) The field points away from the positive charge, and the force on the negative charge is in the same direction as the field.

(d) The field points away from the positive charge, and the force on the negative charge is in the opposite direction to the field.

(II) A large electroscope is made with 鈥渓eaves鈥 that are 78-cm-long wires with tiny 21-g spheres at the ends. When charged, nearly all the charge resides on the spheres. If the wires each make a 26掳 angle with the vertical (Fig. 16鈥55), what total charge Q must have been applied to the electroscope? Ignore the mass of the wires.

(II) Determine the magnitude and direction of the electric field at a point midway between a \( - {\bf{8}}{\bf{.0}}{\rm{ }}\mu {\bf{C}}\) and a\( + 5.8{\rm{ }}\mu {\bf{C}}\)charge 6.0 cm apart. Assume no other charges are nearby.

(II) A person scuffing her feet on a wool rug on a dry day accumulates a net charge of\( - {\bf{28}}\;{\bf{\mu C}}\). How many excess electrons does she get, and by how much does her mass increase?
