Question

Transcribed Image Text:3. At a specific point in time, three particles have charge values and locations listed below:
Charge #1 is located at r₁ = (-1.80 )cm and has a charge of -2.00 x 10-° C.
Charge #2 is located at ₂ = (-1.80 )cm and has a charge of -9.20 x 10° C.
Charge #3 is located at = (3.40 - 9.60)cm and has a charge of +5.40 x 106 C.
Note: the following calculations are for the moment in time corresponding to the information listed above. The
locations before and after this moment in time are irrelevant for this problem.
3a. What is the vector for the total electrostatic force exerted on charge 1 from the other two charges?
3b. What is the magnitude of the vector for the total electrostatic force on charge 1?
3c. What is the angular direction (in standard convention, CCW from positive x axis) of the vector for
the total electrostatic force on charge 1?
