Question
Three particles are held in place along the X-axis. One particle has a charge of 25 uCand
is located at the origin. Another particle (with a charge of 30 uC) is located at x=10 cm.
The last charge is located at ×=-15 cm. What must be the amount of charge on the third
particle, if the charge located at the origin is in equilibrium (i.e. all the forces cancel)?

- Two point charges are fixed on the y axis: a negative point charge q1 = - 28 μC at y1 = + 0.15 m and a positive point charge q2 at y2 = + 0.35 m. A third point charge q = + 9.2 μC is fixed at the origin. The net electrostatic force exerted on the charge q by the other two charges has a magnitude of 23 N and points in the +y direction. Determine the magnitude of q2.arrow_forwardThree charged marbles are glued to a nonconducting surface and are placed in the diagram as shown. The charges of each marble are q1 = 6.20 µC, q2 = 1.43 µC, and q3 = −2.01 µC. Marble q1 is a distance r1 = 3.00 cm to the left of the marble q2, while marble q3 is a distance r3 = 2.00 cm to the right of the marble q2.

- An infinite line of positive charge lies along the y axis, with charge density A = 1.10 µC/m. A dipole is placed with its center along the x axis at x = 21.0 cm. The dipole consists of two charges ±10.0 µuC separated by 2.00 cm. The axis of the dipole makes an angle of 25.0° with the x axis, and the positive charge is farther from the line of charge than the negative charge. Find the net force exerted on the dipole.arrow_forwardThree charges are arranged along the x-axis. Two of the charges locations are known. Q1 = 4 nC and is located at the origin. Q2 = -8 nC is located 6 cm to the left of the origin. The third charge, Q3 is in equilibrium. (a) What is the location of Q3? (b) Does the charge of Q3 matter when determining its location?

The 39 kg red sphere has more charge than the 22 kg green sphere. The total charge magnitude on the spheres is 120 ?C & they have the same polarity. As a result the tension is 202.5 N & the centers of the spheres are 0.39 m apart. Find the charge magnitude on each sphere. Qred (bigger charge) = Qgreen (smaller charge) =arrow_forward
