Two thin 80.0-cm rods are oriented at right angles to each other. Each rod has one end at the origin of the coordinates, and one

of them extends along the +x-axis while the other extends along the +y-axis. The rod along the +x-axis carries a charge of -15.0 µC distributed uniformly along its length, and the other rod carries +15.0 µC uniformly over its length. Find the magnitude and direction of the net electrical force that these two rods exert on an electron located at the point (40.0 cm, 40.0 cm). (e = 1.60 × 10-19C) ε0 = 8.85 × 10-12 C2/N • m2)

Answer:

The net force on the electron is given as:

F = 1.35 x 10⁻¹³ N j - 1.35 x 10⁻¹³ N i

Explanation:

Given:

charge on rod along x-axis = Q₁ = -15 x 10⁻⁶ C

charge on rod along y-axis = Q₂ = 15 x 10⁻⁶ C

distance of electron from rod 1 = r₁ = 0.4 m

distance of electron from rod 1 = r₂ = 0.4 m

charge on electron = q = -1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

ε° = 8.85 x 10⁻¹² C²/Nm²

Electric force on charge due to rod 1:

F₁ = qE = 1/4πε°(qQ₁/r₁²)

F₁ = (9 x 10⁹ x -1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ x -15 x 10⁻⁶)/0.4²

F₁ = 1.35 x 10⁻¹³ N

Negative negative repels each other so the rod will Force the electron in positive y-direction.

F₁ = 1.35 x 10⁻¹³ N j

Electric force on charge due to rod 2:

F₂ = qE = 1/4πε°(qQ₂/r₂²)

F₂ = (9 x 10⁹ x -1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ x 15 x 10⁻⁶)/0.4²

F₂ = - 1.35 x 10⁻¹³ N

Opposite charges attract each other so the rod will force the electron in negative x-direction.

F₂ =  - 1.35 x 10⁻¹³ N i

Net Force:

F = F₁ + F₂

F = 1.35 x 10⁻¹³ N j - 1.35 x 10⁻¹³ N i
