Electric Force of Three Collinear Points Ranking Task:

In the diagram below, there are three collinear point charges: q1, q2, and q3. The distance between q1 and q2 is the same as that between q2 and q3. You will be asked to rank the Coulomb force on q1 due to q2 and q3.

Part A Rank the six combinations of electric charges on the basis of the electric force acting on q1. Define forces pointing to the right as positive and forces pointing to the left as negative. Rank positive forces as larger than negative forces. Rank from largest to smallest, placing the largest on the left and the smallest on the right. To rank items as equivalent, overlap them.

The angle is 60.0o and L = 0.478 m. We are interested in the pointmidway between the charges q1 and q2 on the x axis.
For starters, calculate the magnitude of the electric field dueonly to charge q3 at this point.

Now calculate the magnitude of the electric field from all threecharges at a point midway between the two charges on the xaxis.

Calculate the angle of the electric field relative to the positive(to the right) x-axis, with positive values up (Counter-Clock Wise)and negative down (Clockwise). (enter the answer with units ofdeg)

If a tiny particle with a charge q = 1.06nC were placed at thispoint midway between q1 and q2, what is the magnitude of the forceit would feel?

At a particular moment, one negative and two positive charges are located as shown in the figure. Your answers to each part of this problem should be vectors. It helps a great deal to make a diagram with arrows representing the various electric field contributions, and then check the signs of your components against these arrows.

Two charges are fixed on the x axis: one with a charge of q1 = 5.00at = -1.00 and the other with a charge of q2 = 3.00 at = 1.50 .Find the force exerted on a charge q= -5.00 placed at the origin().

What are the magnitudes of the the three chargesq ,q1 , and q2?Answer in Coublomb

Which of the following gives the proper directions for the forceson charge q due to charges q1 and q2 ? F1 is the force on charge qdue to chargeq1 , and F2 is the force on charge q due to chargeq2 .Standard coordinates are being used (i.e., "left" is the negative xdirection, and "right" is the positive x direction).
Forces F1 and F2 both point to the left.
Force F1 points to the left, and force F2 points to theright.
Force F1 points to the right, and force F2 points to theleft.
Forces F1 and F2 both point to the right.
