Three identical point charges q are placed at each of three corners of a square of side L. Find the magnitude and direction of the net force on a point charge -3q placed

(a) at the center of the square and

(b) at the vacant corner of the square. In each case, draw a free-body diagram showing the forces exerted on the -3q charge by each of the other three charges.

Fned=6kq2L2,45= , below the horizontal.

Fnd+=(1.9)3kq2L2,45= , below the horizontal.

Step by step solution

01

Calculation of net force when 3q is placed at the center of the square.

a)The net force on 3q at the center of the square is only F3becauseF1andF2are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction soFnet

Fnet=3kq2r2=3kq2(2L/2)2=6kq2L2

Hence the net force is 6kq2L2at the angle 45deg. Below the horizontal.

02

Calculation of net force when 3q is placed at the corner of the square

The force acting on 3q at the corner has two-component

Fx=F=F1+F3sin45>(1)

The magnitude of F1

F1=3kq2L2

And F1is

F3=3kq2(2L)2

Substitute the above values in equation(1)

Fx=3kq2L2+3kq2(2L)222=3kq2L21+24=(1.35)3kq2L2

Similarly, the force in the y-direction is

Fy=F=F2+F3cos45

The magnitude of

F2=3kq2L2

The net force in the y-direction is

Fy=3kq2L2+3kq2(2L)222=3kq2L21+24=(1.35)3kq2L2

The magnitude of the field

F=Fx2+Fy2=(1.35)(2)3kq2L2=(1.9)3kq2L2

Hence the net force is (1.9)3kq2L2and the angle is below the horizontal by 45deg.

Cyclotrons are widely used in nuclear medicine for producing short-lived radioactive isotopes. These cyclotrons typically accelerate H-(the hydride ion, which has one proton and two electrons) to an energy of 5MeVto20MeV.This ion has a mass very close to that of a proton because the electron mass is negligible about 12000of the proton鈥檚 mass. A typical magnetic field in such cyclotrons is 1.9T..(a) What is the speed of a 5.0-MeVH-? (b) If the H-has energy 5.0MeVandB=1.9T what is the radius of this ion鈥檚 circulator orbit?

In the circuit shown in Fig. Q26.4, three identical light bulbs are connected to a flashlight battery. How do the brightnesses of the bulbs compare? Which light bulb has the greatest current passing through it? Which light bulb has the greatest potential difference between its terminals? What happens if bulb A is unscrewed? Bulb B? Bulb C? Explain your reasoning.

Current passes through a solution of sodium chloride. In

1.00s,2.681016Na+ions arrive at the negative electrode and3.921016CI-

ions arrive at the positive electrode. (a) What is the current passing between

the electrodes? (b) What is the direction of the current?

In the circuit shown in Fig. E26.49, C = 5.90 mF, 詯 = 28.0 V, and the emf has negligible resistance. Initially, the capacitor is uncharged and the switch S is in position 1. The switch is then moved to position 2 so that the capacitor begins to charge. (a) What will be the charge on the capacitor a long time after S is moved to position 2? (b) After S has been in position 2 for 3.00 ms, the charge on the capacitor is measured to be 110 mC What is the value of the resistance R? (c) How long after S is moved to position 2 will the charge on the capacitor be equal to 99.0% of the final value found in part (a)?
