Two charges +2.0 C and +9.0 C are placed along the x axis, with the first charge at the origin ( x = 0) and the second charge at x = +1.00 m. Find the magnitude and direction of the net force on Overall Hint a -5.0 nC charge when placed at the following locations below. mN, and the direction is a. halfway between the two charges: magnitude of force is Select an answer b. on the axis at x = -0.50 m; magnitude of force is Select an answer c. at the coordinate (x, y) = (1.00 m, 0.50 m) (half a meter above the +9.0 C charge in a direction perpendicular to the line joining the two fixed charges): Hint for (c) This problem is fully 2-dimensional. The charge at a = 1 m exerts force along y direction; the charge at the origin exerts force along the line connecting (x, y) = (0,0) and (x, y) = (1 m, 0.5 m). Express each force vector in terms of x and y components; add the components together; and calculate the magnitude of the resultant using Pythagorean theorem F and use tan (0) to find the direction (draw the force diagrams to make sure your Fr direction makes sense). Magnitude of force is = mN, and the direction is mN, and the direction is degrees below -x axis.
