Particle A of charge 4.00 10-4 C is at the origin, particle B of charge -5.00 10-4 C is at (7.00 m, 0) and particle C of charge 2.00 10-4 C is at (0, 4.00 m).
(a) What is the x-component of the electric force exerted by A on C?
(b) What is the y-component of the force exerted by A on C? Your response differs from the correct answer by more than 10%. Double check your calculations.
(c) Find the magnitude of the force exerted by B on C.
(d) Calculate the x-component of the force exerted by B on C. Your response differs from the correct answer by more than 10%. Double check your calculations.
(e) Calculate the y-component of the force exerted by B on C. The response you submitted has the wrong sign.
(f) Sum the two x-components to obtain the resultant x-component of the electric force acting on C.
(g) Repeat part (f) for the y-component.
(h) Find the magnitude and direction of the resultant electric force acting on C.
