Three point charges q,−2qq, - 2q and 2q2q are placed on xx axis at a distance x=0,x=34Rx = 0, x = \dfrac{3}{4}R and x=Rx = R respectively from origin as shown. If q=2×10−6Cq = 2 \times {10}^{- 6}C and R=2cmR = 2cm, the magnitude of net force experienced by the charge −2q- 2q is _____ NN.

Three point charges q, - 2q and 2q are placed on x axis at a distance x = 0, x = (3)/(4)R and x = R respectively from

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

The net force on the given charge will be the resultant of the forces due to the other two charges.

Hence, the net force (Fn)\left({F}_{n}\right) can be calculated as follows:

{Fn=14πε04q2(R4)2−14πε02q2(3R4)2=9×109×16q2R2[4−29]=9×109×16×(2×10−6C)2(0.02m)2×349=5440N\begin{cases}{F}_{n} & = & \dfrac{1}{4\pi{ε}_{0}}\dfrac{4{q}^{2}}{{\left(\dfrac{R}{4}\right)}^{2}} - \dfrac{1}{4\pi{ε}_{0}}\dfrac{2{q}^{2}}{{\left(\dfrac{3R}{4}\right)}^{2}} \\ & = & 9 \times {10}^{9} \times \dfrac{16{q}^{2}}{{R}^{2}}\left[4 - \dfrac{2}{9}\right] \\ & = & 9 \times {10}^{9} \times \dfrac{16 \times {\left(2 \times {10}^{- 6}C\right)}^{2}}{{\left(0 . 02m\right)}^{2}} \times \dfrac{34}{9} \\ & = & 5440N\end{cases}
