PHY 2049 Physics II Coulombs law n Two

PHY 2049: Physics II Coulomb’s law: n Two kinds of charges, positive and negative, unlike attract, like repel. n Electrons and Protons: q = ± 1. 602 x 10 -19 C n Current I = dq/dt 1 Amp. = 1 C/s n Add forces as vectors n

PHY 2049: Physics II A rule Try to calculate the force magnitude by ignoring the signs of charges. Then assign the direction by looking at the signs. n Never do both (using the charge signs in the calculation of the force and then assign the direction).

PHY 2049: Physics II n n q 1 = q 4 = Q; q 2 = q 3 = q what is Q/q so that the force on 1 is zero n n § All charges same sign. There is no solution. Q and q different sign. There is a possible solution. Is the answer the same if the force on 3 is to be zero

PHY 2049: Physics II n n What is the force on the central chlorine ion? Suppose that we put in an electron that sits on a cesium site and neutralizes it, which way does the Chlorine move?
