A rod of length L is located along the x axis with the near side a distance d from the origin. A positive charge Q2, is uniformly spread over the length of the rod. After integrating the force from each slice over the length of the rod, the magnitude of the electric force on the charge at the origin can be represented as the following: F = (k |Q1| |Q2|) / (d (d + L)) Let L = 2.22m, d = 0.42m, Q1 = -6.29µC, and |Q2| = 11.1µC. Calculate the magnitude if the force in newtons that the rod exerts on the point charge at the origin.arrow_forward

The angle that the charge q1 makes with the negative x axis is θ1= 35.0o.

The smaller shell has an inner radius of 0.100m and an outer radius of 0.200m. The larger shell has an inner radius of 0.300m and and outer radius of 0.400m. A point charge of +10.0μC is placed between the two shells at a radius of 0.250m from the origin. Determine the net charge on each of the four surfaces (r = 0.1,0.2, 0.3, 0.4) and make a sketch that indicates BOTH the electric field lines and the surface charge densities.
