Answer to Problem 62A
The net force on sphere B is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Three charged spheres along with positionare shown in Figure below.
Formula used:
The expression for Coulomb’s law is,
Here,
Calculation:
Consider the Coulomb’s constant as
The distance between sphere B and sphere C is,
The direction of the force of sphere C on sphere B is,
The force of sphere C on sphere B is,
The net force along x axis is,
Find the net force along y axis as follows:
The direction of net force is,
The net force on sphere B is,
Conclusion:
Thus, the net force on sphere B is
