Answer:
a) F= 14393.96N
b) F= 0
q1 pulls while q3 pushes
c) F= 10,178.07N
Explanation:
a) F = 2× (8.99×10^9)×[(1.7×10^-6)^2/(0.0019)^2]
F= (1.789×10^10 ) × (2.89×10^-12)/(3.61×10^-6)
F= 14393.96N
q1 pulls while q2 pushes.
b) By symmetry, F= 0
q1 and q2 both pushes
c) a) is perpendicular instead of parallel, therefore F = 14393.93/(sqrt2)
F= 10,178.07N
