Q: Two subatomic particles have a charge ( q1 = q2 = 10-6 C ), and they are located on the x-axis at coordinates ( -1m, 0m ) and ( 1m, 0m ). Please calculate the following: The electric field due to the charges when a positive test charge ( P ) has x/y-coordinates ofContinue reading “ELECTROSTATICS: Unit Vector Analysis of a Two-Charge System ( Part 1 )”

ELECTROSTATICS: An Equilateral Triangle’s Center of Mass ( Part 2 )
In a prior example, a visually engaging technique was used to locate the center of mass within an equilateral triangle: A more mathematically detailed approach will now be used to determine the center of mass location. The diagram above must be expanded in such a manner that trigonometry can be applied to our efforts: TheContinue reading “ELECTROSTATICS: An Equilateral Triangle’s Center of Mass ( Part 2 )“
