ELECTROSTATICS: Unit Vector Analysis of a Two-Charge System ( Part 2 )

Q: Two subatomic particles have a charge of 1.0 x 10-6 C, and they are located on the x-axis at coordinates ( -1.0 m, 0.0 m ) and ( 1.0 m, 0.0 m ). Please calculate the following: The net electric field when a positive test charge ( P ) is situated at coordinates (Continue reading “ELECTROSTATICS: Unit Vector Analysis of a Two-Charge System ( Part 2 )”

ELECTROSTATICS: A Charged Particle Suspended in Space

Q: A particle with a positive charge ( q1 = +45 nC ) maintains a fixed position beneath a second particle ( q2  ) with an unknown charge. The second particle ( q2 ) has a mass = 7.5 μg, and it is floating 25 cm above charge q1. The net force on q2 isContinue reading “ELECTROSTATICS: A Charged Particle Suspended in Space”
