**Net Force Calculation on a Point Charge****Problem Statement:**What is the net force on the \(-10 \mu C\) point charge?**Diagram Explanation:**The diagram illustrates a system of three point charges and their relative distances:- There are three charges labeled as \(-10 \mu C\), \(-30 \mu C\), and \(40 \mu C\).- The \(-10 \mu C\) charge is positioned 7 cm away from the \(-30 \mu C\) charge, 24 cm away from the \(40 \mu C\) charge, and 25 cm away from the \(-30 \mu C\) charge.- The charges are positioned in such a way that they form a right triangle.**Options Provided:**1. 488 N2. 613 N3. 554 N4. 24 N5. 41 NThe numerical values will further help in calculating the net force using Coulomb's Law.**Concept Explanation:**To find the net force on the \(-10 \mu C\) charge, we use Coulomb’s Law, which states that the magnitude of the force \( F \) between two point charges is:\[ F = k_e \frac{|q_1 q_2|}{r^2} \]Where:- \( k_e \) is Coulomb's constant (\( 8.99 \times 10^9 \, Nm^2/C^2 \))- \( q_1 \) and \( q_2 \) are the magnitudes of the charges- \( r \) is the distance between the chargesThe net force is the vector sum of forces exerted on the \(-10 \mu C\) charge by the other two charges. This involves calculating each force individually and then combining them using vector addition principles.**Answer Choices Analysis:**Given the options, we would typically solve the problem step-by-step as outlined, making use of given measurements and fundamental principles of electrostatics.**Interactive Element:**To enhance learning, students might be prompted to attempt the detailed calculations and conceptual understanding to arrive at one of the provided answers.

Review. A light, unstressed spring has length d. Two identical particles, each with charge q, are connected to the opposite ends of the spring. The particles are held stationary a distance d apart and then released at the same moment. The system then oscillates on a frictionless, horizontal table. The spring has a bit of internal kinetic friction, so the oscillation is damped. The particles eventually stop vibrating when the distance between them is 3d. Assume the system of the spring and two charged particles is isolated. Find the increase in internal energy that appears in the spring during the oscillations.

How does the polar character of water molecules help to explain waters relatively large dielectric constant? (Figure 19.19) Figure 19,19 Artist's conception of a water molecule. There is an inherent separation of charge, and so water is a polar molecule. Electrons in the molecule are attracted to the oxygen nucleus and leave an excess of positive charge near the two hydrogen nuclai. (Note that the schematic on the right is a rough illustration of the distribution of electrons in the water molecule. It does not show the actual numbers of protons and elections involved in the structure.)
