The figure below shows a test charge q between the two positive charges. Find the force (in newtons) on the test charge for q = 1 µC. Give a positive answer if the force is to the right and a negative answer if the force is to the left.

Question

The figure below shows a test charge q between the two positive charges. Find the force (in newtons) on the test charge for q = 1 µC. Give a positive answer if the force is to the right and a negative answer if the force is to the left.
2µC....-3cm-....q...-2cm-...3µC

bobpursley · Answer

the force on q from the charge on the left is to the right, the force on q from the charge on the right is to the left. Force=forceleftcharge - forcerightcharge = k 2E-6*E-6/.03^2 -k2E-6*E-6/.02^2

What was the answer?

helper · Answer

k 2E-6*E-6/.03^2 -k3E-6*E-6/.02^2 if your q is positive then your answer is negative

syera · Answer

why isnt the answer 47
