Particle a of charge 3.15 10-4 c is at the origin, particle b of charge -6.12 10-4 c is at (4.00 m, 0), and particle c of charge 1.10 10-4 c is at (0, 3.00 m). we wish to find the net electric force on c.(a) what is the x component of the electric force exerted by a on c?
n
(b) what is the y component of the force exerted by a on c?
n
(c) find the magnitude of the force exerted by b on c.
n
(d) calculate the x component of the force exerted by b on c.
n
(e) calculate the y component of the force exerted by b on c.
n
(f) sum the two x components from parts (a) and (d) to obtain the resultant x component of the electric force acting on c.
n
(g) similarly, find the y component of the resultant force vector acting on c.
n
(h) find the magnitude and direction of the resultant electric force acting on c.
magnitude n
