- A 1.75-nC charged particle located at the origin is separated by a distance of 0.0825 m from a 2.88-nC charged particle located farther along the positive x axis. Both particles are held at their locations by an external agent. a. What is the electrostatic force on the 2.88-nC particle? b. What is the electrostatic force on the 1.75-nC particle?arrow_forward(a) Two point charges q1 and q23.00 m apart, and their total charge is 20 C. (a) If the force of repulsion between them is 0.075N, what are magnitudes of the two charges? (b) If one charge attracts the other with a force of 0.150 N, what are the magnitudes of the two charges? Note that you may need to solve a quadratic equation to reach your answer.arrow_forwardParticle A of charge 3.00 104 C is at the origin, particle B of charge 6.00 101 C is at (4.00 m, 0), and particle C of charge 1.00 104 C is at (0, 3.00 in).
