a) Find the total electric force exerted by the charges in the hexagon on the charge at the center
b) Determine the magnitude of the electric field in the center of the hexagon
Given: The charge is .
The charge is .
The charge is .
The charge is .
The charge is .
The charge is .
The charge is .
The distance between any of the two charges is 30 cm.
To determine: (a) Total electric force exerted by all the charges on the charge at center.
Like charges repel each other and unlike charges attract each other.
The force between the two charges is given as
where F is the force between the two charges, are the two charges and r is the distance between the two charges.
The direction of force due to charge on is repulsive, it will along the charge . Similarly the direction of force due to charge on is repulsive and will be along . These two forces will cancel out each other.
