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 =
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 = = -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 = = 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>
