Answer:
[tex]1.11\times10^{-4} C[/tex]
Explanation:
Coulomb's force:
[tex]F=\frac{kqq'}{d^2}[/tex]
where, q and q' are two charges, d is the distance between them and k is the Coulomb constant.
The net force on charge q at origin is 17 N.
[tex]17 = 9\times 10^9 \times 8.5\times10^{-6}[\frac{-28\times 10^{-6}}{0.21^2}+\frac{q_2}{0.36^2}]\\17 = 76.5 \times 10^3[-6.35 \times 10^{-4}+7.72q_2]\\q_2 = 1.11\times10^{-4} C[/tex]
Answer:
5.35 x 10^-5 C
Explanation:
q1 = - 28 micro Coulomb =- 28 x 10^-6 C
q2 = ?
q3 = 8.5 micro Coulomb = 8.5 x 10^-6 C
y1 = 0.21 m
y2 = 0.36 m
q3 is at origin.
Let F1 is the force between q1 and q3 and F2 is the force between q2 and q3.
By use of Coulomb's law, the force between the two charges is given by
[tex]F = \frac{Kqq'}{r^{2}}[/tex]
Now, [tex]F_{1} = \frac{Kq_{1}q_{3}}{0.2^{2}}[/tex]
[tex]F_{1} = \frac{9\times 10^{9}\times 28\times 10^{-6}\times 8.5\times 10^{-6}}{0.21^{2}}[/tex]
F1 = 48.6 N .... (1)
Now, [tex]F_{2} = \frac{Kq_{2}\times q_{3}}{0.36^{2}}[/tex]
[tex]F_{2} = \frac{9\times 10^{9}\times q_{2} \times 8.5\times 10^{-6}}{0.36^{2}}[/tex]
F2 = 590277.78 q2 .... (2)
Now, F1 - F2 = 17
48.6 - 590277.78 q2 = 17 from (1) and (2)
q2 = 5.35 x 10^-5 C
Thus, the charge on q2 is 5.35 x 10^-5 C.
