  • Location where the net electrostatic force is zero

    Any positive charge placed to the left of -3.50 nC charge or to the right of the -6.30 nC charge would not experience a net zero electric force.

  • Line with 2 Charges: Electric potential and electric field

    However, repulsive force due to q2 is greater than the attractive force due to q1 as q2 is nearer to point C than q1. Hence, net force on it i.e. the electric field intensity at C is not zero.

  • Magnitude of net electric force exerted on charge due to charges

    306698 Magnitude of net electric force exerted on charge due to charges Twelve identical point charges (q = 9.5 μC) are equally spaced around the circumference of a circle of radius 17.1 cm (like the numbers on the face of a clock).

  • Charged pendulum in an Electric Field

    Hence, the net vertical force = 0 and the net horizontal force = 0 Vertical Direction: There are two forces on the y direction. 1. A component of the tension force T cos θ 2.

  • Electric field

    Vertical component of each force F = F cosθ Net vertical force = 2F cosθ .......(1) Force F = (1/4ΠЄ0)q/l2 Substituting in (1) we get : Net vertical force = 2[(1/4ΠЄ0)q/l2]cosθ As cosθ = L/l we get : Net vertical force = 2[(1/4ΠЄ0

  • Direction and Work Done by Electric Field

    Because a unit positive charge placed at that point will experience equal repulsive force from both the charges and net force on it will be zero. At any other point there will be a finite net force on it.

  • System of Electric Charges

    As a negative charge experiences force in the direction opposite to the direction of E, the negative charge at C will experience force towards right (as net electric field at C is towards left).
