Three point charges are located on the x-axis. The first charge, q1 = 10 μC, is at x = -1.0 m. The second charge, q2 = 20 μC, is

at the origin. The third charge, q3 = - 30 μC, is located at x = 2.0 m. What is the force on q2?
(a) 1.65 N in the negative x- direction
(b) 3.15 N in the positive x- direction
(c) 1.50 N in the negative x- direction
(d) 4.80 N in the positive x- direction
(e) 4.65 N in the negative x- direction.

Answer:

<em>3.15 N towards the positive x-axis</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

first charge has charge q1 = 10 μC = 10 x 10^-6 C

second charge has charge q2 = 20 μC = 20 x 10^-6 C

third charge has charge q3 = -30 μC = -30 x 20^-6 C

According to coulomb's law, force between two charged particle is given as

F = \frac{-kQq}{r^2}

Where

F is the force between the charges

k is Coulomb's constant = 9 x 10^9 kg⋅m^3⋅s^−2⋅C^−2.

Q is the magnitude of one charge

q is the magnitude of the other charge

is the distance between these two charges

For the force on q2 due to q1,

distance r between them = 0 - (-1.0) = 1 m

F = \frac{-9*10^{9}*10*10^{-6}*20*10^{-6}}{1^2} = -1.8 N (the negative sign indicates a repulsion on q2 towards the positive  x-axis)

For the force on q2 due to q3,

distance between them = 2.0 - 0 = 2 m

F = \frac{-9*10^{9}*20*10^{-6}*(-30*10^{-6})}{2^2} = 1.35 N (the positive sign indicates an attraction on q2 towards the positive x-axis)

Resultant force on q2 = 1.8 N + 1.35 N = <em>3.15 N towards the positive x-axis</em>

krok68 [10]

Answer:

it is essential that the charge on the plates are of the same magnitude, but in the opposite direction

Explanation:

The configuration of parallel plates is called a capacitor and is widely used to create constant electric fields inside.

 To obtain this field it is essential that the charge on the plates are of the same magnitude, but in the opposite direction

This is so that the fields created by each plate can be added inside and subtracted from the outside of the plates
