Find the force on a charge `q_(1)(=20 mu C)` due to the charge of `q_(2)(=10 mu C)` if the positions of the charges are given as `P_(1)(1,-1,2)` and `Q(-1,1,1)`.
.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`vec(F_(12))=(q_(1)q_(2)vec(F_(12)))/(4 pi epsilon_(0)r_(12)^(3))`
where `vecr_(12)=vecr_(1)-vecr_(2)=(hat(i)-hat(j)+2hat(k))-(hat(i)+hat(j)=hat(k))`
`=2hat(i)-2hat(j)+hat(k)`
and `r_(12)=|vecF_(12)|sqrt(4+4+1)=3`
or, `vecF_(12)=((9xx10^(9))(20xx10^(-6))(-10xx10^(-6)))/((3)^(3)) (2hat(i)-2hat(j)+hat(k))`
`=-0.06(2hat(i)-2hat(j)+hat(k))N`.

Three charges q_(1) = 1 mu C, q_(2) = -2 muC and q_(3) = 3mu C are placed on the vertices of an equilateral triangle of side 1.0 m. find the net electric force acting on charge q_(1) . How to proceed Charge q_(2) will attract charge q_(1) (along the line joining them) and charge q_(3) will repel charge q_(1) . Therefore, two forces will act on q_(1) , one due to q_(2) and another due to q_(3) . Since , the force is a vector quantity both of these force (say F_(1) and F_(2) ) will be added by vector method. Following are two methods of their addition
