Question
The diagram in the attatched image shows three charges (q1, q2, q3) from left to right arranged along a straight line at the distances given. The charge at q1 is -11 μC, q2 is 7 μC, and q3 is -3 μC.
a. Calculate the magnitude and direction of the net electric field E at the location of q2
b. Assuming that charges q1 and q3 are fixed (immobile), but q2 (mass = 1.5 μg) is free to move, calculate the magnitude and direction of the acceleration of q2.

Predict the electric field at Point P in this diagram. Make sure to include a direction with your answer.arrow_forwardA thin rod is bent into a half circle of radius R and centered on the y-axis so that it lies flat in the xy-plane as indicated in the diagram. This glass rod is rubbed all over with silk so that the rod has a total positive charge Q uniformly distributed over the length of the bent rod. Answer the following questions to determine the net electric field at an observation location A located on the positive z-axis a distance d from the origin. (See pic 1 for the following questions) A. Consider an infinitesimal piece of the glass rod located at an angle θ\thetaθ from the positive x-axis. Determine the relative position vector that points from this piece of the rod to the observation location. B. Derive an expression for the electric field dE⃗ of the infinitesimal piece dQ located at angle θ and integrate over the charge distribution to determine the net electric field E⃗ at the observation location.
