To find the force on charge \( q_1 \) due to charge \( q_2 \), we can use Coulomb's Law, which states that the force \( \mathbf{F} \) between two point charges is given by: \[ \mathbf{F} = k \frac{|q_1 q_2|}{r^2} \hat{r} \] where: - \( k \) is Coulomb's constant (\( 9 \times 10^9 \, \text{N m}^2/\text{C}^2 \)), ...

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
