Question

Both objects A and D represent fixed, negatively-charged particles of equal magnitude and Object B represents a fixed, positively-charged particle (equal, but opposite charge from A and D). Object C shows a moving, positively-charged particle. Identify which arrow would correctly show the force of attraction or repulsion on object C caused by the other two objects?
A) 1

B) 2

C) 3

D) 4

Answer 1

Answer:

Option A = 1.

Explanation:

So, in order to solve this question we are given the Important infomation or data or parameters in the question above as;

(1). First, Both objects A and D represent fixed.

(2).  Both objects A and D are negatively-charged particles of equal magnitude.

(3). "Object B represents a fixed, positively-charged particle (equal, but opposite charge from A and D)."

(4). "Object C shows a moving, positively-charged particle."

So, our mission is to determine the arrow that would correctly show the force of attraction or repulsion on object C caused by the other two objects.

We can do that by drawing out the forces of attraction and the resultants. Therefore, CHECK THE ATTACHED FILE/PICTURE FOR THE DRAWINGS.

The forces of attraction due to objects A and B on on object C will be towards themselves. Hence, the resultant is ONE(1).
