Answer:
Fr = 26.83 [N]
Explanation:
To solve this problem we must use the Pythagorean theorem, since the forces are vector quantities, that is, they have magnitude and density. Therefore the Pythagorean theorem is suitable for the solution of this problem.
Answer:
The magnitude of the external electric field at P will reduce to 2.26 x 10⁶ N/C, but the direction is still to the right.
Explanation:
From coulomb's law, F = Eq
Thus,
F = E₁q₁
F = E₂q₂
Then
E₂q₂ = E₁q₁
where;
E₂ is the external electric field due to second test charge = ?
E₁ is the external electric field due to first test charge = 4 x 10⁶ N/C
q₁ is the first test charge = 13 mC
q₂ is the second test charge = 23 mC
Substitute in these values in the equation above and calculate E₂.
The magnitude of the external electric field at P will reduce to 2.26 x 10⁶ N/C when 13 mC test charge is replaced with another test charge of 23 mC.
However, the direction of the external field is still to the right.
