QUESTION:
At each corner of a square of side l there are point charges of magnitude Q, 2Q, 3Q, and 4Q (Fig. 16–52). Determine the force on
(a) the charge 2Q, and
(b) the charge 3Q, due to the other three charges.
ANSWER:
Solution 16P
Step 1 of 7
For the given charge configuration, we have to calculate the magnitude and direction of net force on charge 2Q.
Charges Q, 2Q, 3Q and 4Q are placed at the each corner of the square of length as shown in the figure below,
