Question: Consider a point charge Q ( 1 ) = 2 C placed at the origin and another point charge Q ( 2

  • Consider a point charge Q(1) = 2µC placed at the origin and another point charge Q(2) = -3nC placed at (2 ?; -2) ?m on a cartesian plane as shown on the figure.

  • a) ?Find the vector of the total electric force on point charge Q(1). ?We add a thin wire in the shape of an arc of circle of radius 1.5 ?m centered at the origin, of linear density lambda= 5 ?nC/m, ?as shown on the figure. The circular arc corresponds to one-third third of the complete circle.

  • b) ?Calculate the total charge of this wire.

  • c) ?Determine the vector of the electric field at the origin of the mark , ?caused by the wire.

Y (en m) 2 + 60% 1 Q = 2 -1 1

Y (en m) 2 + 60% 1 Q = 2 -1 1 2 -2- + 3 X (en m) 92 = - 3 nC
