<h3>How to calculate the net force.</h3>
In this scenario, the magnitude of the net force that is acting on particle q₃ is given by:
F₃ = F₁₃ + F₂₃
Mathematically, the electrostatic force between two (2) charges is given by this formula:
<u>Where:</u>
- r is the distance between two charges.
<u>Note:</u> d₁₃ = 2d₂₃ = 2(0.100) = 0.200 meter.
For electrostatic force (F₁₃);
F₁₃ = 1.24 Newton.
For electrostatic force (F₂₃);
F₂₃ = 4.96 Newton.
Therefore, the magnitude of the net force that is acting on particle q₃ is given by:
F₃ = 1.24 + 4.96
F₃ = 6.2 Newton.
