Object A is charged to + 13.6 nC and placed at the origin. Object B is charged to − 27.7 nC and placed at (x, y) = (0.0cm, 2.0cm).
What is the magnitude of the electric force on object A?
What is the magnitude of the electric force on object B?
What is the direction of the electric force on object A?
What is the direction of the electric force on object B?
Given:
qA = +13.6 nC at origin
qB = - 27.7 nC at (0, 2cm).
r = distance between the charges = 2 cm.
a) The magnitude of electric force on A by B is [answer]
b) The magnitude of electric force on B by A is [answer]
c) As the charges are unlike, they will attract each other.
Therefore, the direction of force on A is towards positive x-axis. [answer]
d) The direction of force on B is towards negative x-axis. [answer]
