10-31. Figure 10-16 shows the positions of two a particles (charge on each is +2e) and an electron. What are the magnitude and direction of
(a) the resultant force on the electron?
(Hint: choose the +x axis along the line from the electron to the right-hand a particle.)
[Ans.(a) 1.31X10-8 N at 13.3° to left of line from electron to right-hand a]

 
 
 


 
ACCUMULATED SOLUTION




Correct!
This simplifies the problem so that one force only has one component.

 

Now add the forces to the drawing. Which is correct?


 
 

(A)

(B)

(C)

(D)
