The net force on sphere
Answer to Problem 14PP
The net force on B is 2 N along the right-hand side of the y -axis.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Charge on shphere A is
Charge on the sphere B is
Separation between the charges is 0.60 m.
Formula used:
The magnitude of the force between the two charges is given by
Calculation:
The problem can be analyzed as follows:
Force of a sphere A on sphere B , is
Substitute the values of
The force of sphere C on sphere B , is
Substitute the values and force is calculated as
The net force on a sphere A is given by the difference between the force of B and force of C .
The direction of force will be same as the direction of greater force that is, the force of C on B.
Conclusion:
Hence, the net force on B is 2 N along the right-hand side of the y -axis.
