To find the force acting on the charge \( q_1 \) located at \( (a, 0) \) due to another charge \( q_2 \) located at \( (0, a) \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Determine the distance between the charges The distance \( r \) between the two charges can be calculated using the distance formula: \[ r = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2} \] Substituting the coordinates of \( q_1 \) and \( q_2 \): ...
