- Three charges are located on an x-y axis. q1 has a value of 2.0 mC and is at (0, 3m). q2 has a value of 3.0 mC and is located at the origin. q3 has a value of 4.0 mC and is located at (4 m, 0).

Draw a clear diagram!arrow_forwardthree-point charges have equal magnitudes, two being positive and one negative. these charges are fixed to the corners of an equilateral triangle as the drawing shows. the magnitude of each of the charges is 5.5 Uc and the length of the sides of the triangles are 2.5 cm. calculate the magnitude of the net force that each charge experiences. for this question you should have three answers in other words. What is FA, Fb, Fc? arrow_forwardTwo identical balls of 29.5 g are suspended from threads of length 1.1 m and carry equal charges as shown in the figure. Each ball is 1.5 cm from the centerline.a) Assume that the angle Θ is so small that its tangent can be replaced by its sine. This is called the small angle approximation and means that for small angles sin(Θ)=tan(Θ). Find the magnitude of charge on one of the balls. b) Now, assume the two balls are losing charge to the air very slowly. That means they'll be slowly approaching each other. If a ball is moving at an instantaneous speed of 2.50E−05 m/s, at what rate is the ball losing charge? Start by writing the speed of the ball and the rate of change of the charge as symbolic derivatives, and then relate those derivatives. Give your answer in Coulombs per second (C/s). Note that because the balls are losing charge so slowly, we can still use our results from the previous part, as the system is almost in equilibrium. Give your answer as a magnitude.arrow_forward
