Newton's law of universal gravitation states that every particle attracts every other particle in the universe with a force which is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers.

Four point charges have equal magnitudes. Three are positive, and one is negative, as the drawing shows. They are fixed in place

Answer:

Ans= 9

See attached picture for clearer solution.

Explanation:

The net electrostatic force acting on charge A = 2/ 2 + 2 /(2) 2 − 2 /(3) 2 = 2 / 2 (1 + 1/4 – 1/9 ) = 41/36 2/2 .

The net electrostatic force acting on charge B = 2/2 + 2/(2)2 − 2/2 = 1/4 2/d2 .

The net electrostatic force acting on charge C = 2/2 + 2/(2)2 + 2/2 = 2/2 (1 + 1 4 + 1) = 9/4 2/2 .

The net electrostatic force acting on charge D = 2/2+ 2 /(2)2 + 2/(3)2 = 2 /2 (1 + 1/4 + 1/9 ) = 49/36 2/ 2 .

The ratio of the largest to the smallest net force = 9/4*2/2 / 1/4 2/2 . = 9
