The distance d between the two charges is the same as the distance between q1 and the spot P. With q2 present, the magnitude of the net electric field at P is twice what it is when q1 is present alone. Given that q1 = 0.50 μ C, determine q2.arrow_forward

The scale of the vertical axis is set by Es = 9.0 × 105 N/C. What is the ratio of the charge density on sheet 3 to that on sheet 2?arrow_forwardTake +x to be to the right and +y to be up. A charged ball has a positive charge of +0.08 milli-coulombs is in an electric field of magnitude 0.9 mega- newtons/coulomb which is directed at 30° counter-clockwise from the minus y axis, i.e., down. The mass of the ball is 50 grams. What is the x component of the acceleration of the ball in m/s²? Neglect all other forces. Be careful with your factors of 10. Reminder: milli = 10-3 and mega = 106.
