Chapter 4: Q45E (page 716)

If two electrons are each from a proton (Fig. E21.45), find the magnitude and direction of the net electric force they will exert on the proton.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The magnitude of net electric force is and direction is

Step by step solution

01

About Net electric Force exert on proton

If a particular charge encounters two or more interactions, then the net electric force is the vector sum of those individual forces.

Direction is given by

02

Determine the magnitude and direction of the net electric force exert on the proton.

Distance between two electron

Solve for force exerted for each electron on proton

Solve for horizontal direction

solve for vertical direction

Solve for magnitude of net force

Solve for the direction of netelectricforce

Therefore the magnitude of net electric force is and direction is

03

Plot the Graph for showing the force
