Answer:
The magnitude of electric force is
Explanation:
Coulomb's Law:
The force of attraction or repletion is
- directly proportional to the products of charges i.e
- inversely proportional to the square of distance i.e
[ k is proportional constant=9×10⁹N m²/C²]
There are two types of force applied on Q=+2.5 μC=2.5×10⁻⁶ C
Let F₁ force be applied on Q =+2.5 μC by q₁= -5.0 μC = - 5.0×10⁻⁶ C
and F₂ force be applied on Q=+2.5 μC by q₂= 5.0 μC= 5.0×10⁻⁶ C
Since the magnitude of F₁ and F₂ are same. Therefore their y component cancel.
If we draw a line from q₁ to Q .
The it forms a triangle whose base = 4.0 cm and altitude =3.0 cm.
Let hypotenuse = r
Therefore,
we know,
Total force
[ r=5]
N
The magnitude of electric force is
