Answer:
Explanation:
Force due to charges 1.75 and 5 nC is given below
F =K Q₁Q₂ / d²
F₁ = [tex]\frac{9\times10^9\times1.75\times10^{-9}\times5\times 10^{-9}}{(2.7\times10^{-2})^2}[/tex]
F₁ = 10.8 X 10⁻⁵ N . It will at in x direction.
Force due to other charge placed at origin
F₂ = [tex]\frac{9\times10^9\times1.75\times10^{-9}\times5\times 10^{-9}}{22.5\times10^{-4}}[/tex]
F₂ = 3.5 x 10⁻⁵ N.
Its x component
= F₂ Cos θ
= 3.5 x 10⁻⁵ x 3.9/ 4.74
= 2.88 x 10⁻⁵ N
Its y component
F₂ sin θ
= 3.5 x 10⁻⁵ x 2.7/4.743
= 1.99 x 10⁻⁵ N
Total x component
= 10.8 X 10⁻⁵ +2.88 x 10⁻⁵
= 13.68 x 10⁻⁵ N.
Magnitude of total force F
F² = (13.68 x 10⁻⁵)² + (1.99 x 10⁻⁵ )²
F = 13.82 X 10⁻⁵ N
Direction θ with x axis .
Tanθ = 1.99/ 13.68
θ = 8 °
