Problem 10-31(a) Vector electric field - B

Diagram indicating the  positions of two particles.

The figure 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) 1.31×108N at 13.3 to left of line from electron to right-hand a]


No. You do not know the angle between the x-axis and any side of the triangle.

Try again.
