8. An electric field = 1.0 x 105 N/C i causes the 5.0 g point charge to hang at an angle of 20. What is the charge on the ball? Steps: - Identify the forces on the system (Force of gravity, tension force and electric force) and draw a FBD for the point charge. Write the x - and y-components of Tension force. - Since the point charge is hanging and not moving, the net force along x and y components should be zero. Solve the equations for both components. 20 111 5.0 g 8. An electric field = 1.0 x 105 N/C i causes the 5.0 g point charge to hang at an angle of 20. What is the charge on the ball?
