Use the following constants if necessary. Coulomb constant, k=8.987×109N⋅m2/C2. Vacuum permittivity, ϵ0=8.854×10−12F/m. The magnitude of the Charge of one electron, e=−1.60217662×10−19C. Mass of one electron, me=9.10938356×10−31kg. Unless specified otherwise, each symbol carries its usual meaning. For example, μC means microcoulomb.
Consider two charges q1=32e and q2=34e at positions (−20,50,44) and (36/√3, 36/√2,−31) respectively where all the coordinates are measured on the scale of 10−9m or nanometers. If the position vector of the charge q1 is r1 and charge q2 is r2.
Note: the second set of coordinates will read as thirty-six by root 3, thirty-six by root 2 and negative thirty-one.
Now consider another charge q3=−12e is in the xyz system positioned at (−37/√3, 41/√2, −22). [Note: The coordinates will be read as negative thirty-seven by root 3, forty-one by root 2 and negative 22.
a) Calculate the x, y and z components of the net force acting on q1 and q2.
b) Calculate the x, y and z components of the net electric field at the position of q3 due to q1 and q2 charges. Note that, you cannot calculate electric field of q3 at it's own position.
