Question

Calculate the net force on particle q1. First, find the direction of the force particle q2 is exerting on particle q1. Is it pushing to the right, or to the left?

Answer 1

The net force on particle particle q1 is 13.06 N towards the left.

Force on q1 due to q2

F(12) = kq₁q₂/r₂

F(12) = (9 x 10⁹ x 13 x 10⁻⁶ x 7.7 x 10⁻⁶)/(0.25²)

F(12) = -14.41 N  (towards left)

Force on q1 due to q3

F(13) = (9 x 10⁹ x 7.7 x 10⁻⁶ x 5.9 x 10⁻⁶)/(0.55²)

F(13) = 1.352 N (towards right)

Net force on q1

F(net) = 1.352 N - 14.41 N

F(net) = -13.06 N

Thus, the net force on particle particle q1 is 13.06 N towards the left.
