PLEASE ANSWER ALL 3 PARTS AS IT PERTAINS TO THE SAME QUESTION
A charge of -0.600 μC exerts an upward 0.200-N force on an unknown charge 0.350 m directly below it.
A) What is the unknown charge (magnitude and sign)?
|
B) What is the magnitude of the force that the unknown charge exerts on the charge of magnitude -0.600 μC ?
F=______________ N
C) What is the direction of the force that the unknown charge exerts on the charge of magnitude -0.600 μC ?
upward or |
downward |
A) according to Coulomb's Law
(Force on charge Q2 due to charge Q1)
We have
Q1=-0.6=0.6*10-6 C
F=0.2 N
and r=0.350m
Q2=?
Subsituting above values in Coulomb's law
Q2= 4.53704*10-6C=4.53704
Q2 is Positive in nature because is pulled up by charge Q1 which is negative in nature. Attracti
B) Force on charge Q1=-0.600 due to charge Q2
F12=0.2N
C) Direction of force due to charge Q2 on charge Q1
F12 will act downward because Positive and negative charges attract each other.
