Two charges +8 μC and +10 μC are placed along the x axis, with the first charge at the origin (x = 0) and
the second charge at x = + 1 m. Find the magnitude and direction of the net force on a -3 nC charge
when placed at the following locations below.
Overall Hint
a. halfway between the two charges: magnitude of force is 0.216
direction is in +x direction
0°
b. on the x axis at x = -0.5 m: magnitude of force is .984
direction is in +x direction
c. at the coordinate (x, y) = (1 m, 0.5 m) (half a meter above the +10 μC charge in a direction
perpendicular to the line joining the two fixed charges):
Hint for (c)
Magnitude of force is 1.956
degrees below-x axis.
