Numerical 02
02. Calculate the resultant force on the 10 microcoulomb of charge in the figure.
 
 
Suggested answer:
 
Let F1 be the magnitude of the force exerted on 10mC of charge by 6mC of charge.
 
 
 
If F2 is the magnitude of the force exerted on 10mC of charge by
 
'-8mC' of charge, then
 
 
Both the forces F1 and F2 act at right angles to each other as shown in figure. Their resultant F is given by
 
 
or
 
 
Also, if q is the angle which F makes with F1
