A. Electric force at point A is due to the charges at point B and C.
We apply Coulomb's law between points A and B and again between points A and C.
Between A and B
Substituting:
FAB = - 8.99 × 10-3 N
A. What is the magnitude of the electric force on charge A in the figure?
F=______N
B. What is the direction of the electric force on charge A in the figure? Choose the best answer.
(a) to the left
(b) to the right
(c) the force is zero
