A charge q1 = +5.00 nC is placed at the origin of an xy
Chapter 21, Problem 66P(choose chapter or problem)
A charge q1 = +5.00 nC is placed at the origin of an xy -coordinate system, and a charge q2 = -2.00 nC is placed on the positive x-axis at x = 4.00 cm. (a) If a third charge q3 = +6.00 nC is now placed at the point x = 4.00 cm, y = 3.00 cm, find the x- and y-components of the total force exerted on this charge by the other two. (b) Find the magnitude and direction of this force.

QUESTION:
A charge q1 = +5.00 nC is placed at the origin of an xy -coordinate system, and a charge q2 = -2.00 nC is placed on the positive x-axis at x = 4.00 cm. (a) If a third charge q3 = +6.00 nC is now placed at the point x = 4.00 cm, y = 3.00 cm, find the x- and y-components of the total force exerted on this charge by the other two. (b) Find the magnitude and direction of this force.
ANSWER:Solution 66P Step 1 of 8: Given charge configuration has charge q =+ 5 1C is placed at origin in xy-coordinate system, another charge q =22nC is at (0,4 cm) on x-axis and a third charge q =+ 6 n3 is placed at point (4 cm, 3 cm) as shown in the figure below. Here we need to calculate the x and y components of total force exerted on charge q by 3 other two and the magnitude and direction of this force.
