<span>Place a test charge in the middle. It is 2cm away from each charge.
The electric field E= F/Q where F is the force at the point and Q is the charge causing the force in this point.
The test charge will have zero net force on it. The left 30uC charge will push it to the right and the right 30uC charge will push it to the left. The left and right force will equal each other and cancel each other out.
THIS IS A TRICK QUESTION.
THe electric field exactly midway between them = 0/Q = 0.
But if the point moves even slightly you need the following formula
F= (1/4Piε)(Q1Q2/D^2)
Assume your test charge is positive and make sure you remember two positive charges repel, two unlike charges attract. Draw the forces on the test charge out as vectors and find the magnetude of the force, then divide by the total charge to to find the electric field strength:)</span>
Answer:
This slide shows the three forces that act on a baseball in flight. The forces are the weight, drag, and lift. Lift and drag are actually two components of a single aerodynamic force acting on the ball. Drag acts in a direction opposite to the motion, and lift acts perpendicular to the motion
Answer:
q₁ = + 1.25 nC
Explanation:
Theory of electrical forces
Because the particle q₃ is close to two other electrically charged particles, it will experience two electrical forces and the solution of the problem is of a vector nature.
Known data
q₃=5 nC
q₂=- 3 nC
d₁₃= 2 cm
d₂₃ = 4 cm
Graphic attached
The directions of the individual forces exerted by q1 and q₂ on q₃ are shown in the attached figure.
For the net force on q3 to be zero F₁₃ and F₂₃ must have the same magnitude and opposite direction, So, the charge q₁ must be positive(q₁+).
The force (F₁₃) of q₁ on q₃ is repulsive because the charges have equal signs ,then. F₁₃ is directed to the left (-x).
The force (F₂₃) of q₂ on q₃ is attractive because the charges have opposite signs. F₂₃ is directed to the right (+x)
Calculation of q1
F₁₃ = F₂₃
We divide by (k * q3) on both sides of the equation
q₁ = + 1.25 nC
