Question

A charge q1 = – 80.0 μC is located at (0 m, 2.00 m). A second charge q2 = – 125 μC is located at (5.00
m, 0 m).

a. Find the electric field at the origin.
b. Find the electric force on a 25.0-μC charge placed at the origin

Expert Solution
Step 1: Given data

Charge q subscript 1 equals negative 80 space straight mu straight C placed at open parentheses 0 space straight m comma space 2 space straight m close parentheses

Charge q subscript 2 equals negative 125 space straight mu straight C placed at open parentheses 5 space straight m comma space 0 space straight m close parentheses

Note:

1 space straight C equals 10 to the power of 6 space straight mu straight C

Coulomb constant is k equals 9 cross times 10 to the power of 9 space Nm squared divided by straight C squared

Find:

(a) Electric field at origin.

(b) Electric force on charge q subscript 3 equals 25 space straight mu straight C placed at origin.
