Represent the resultant force acting on a charge q_(0) due to point charges q_(1),q_(2),q_(3),q_(4). Assume the position vectors as vecr_(0),vecr_(1),vecr_(2),vecr_(3),vecr_(4) respectively. Give the expression for net force on q_(0) |
Answer» Solution : Here `vecF_(R_(1))=vecF_(01)+vecF_(02)` `vecF_(R_(2))=vecF_(R_(1))+vecF_(03)` `vecF_(R_(3))=vecF_(R_(2))+vecF_(04)` `:.vecF_(R_(3))=vecF_(01)+vecF_(02)+vecF_(03)+vecF_(04)` i.e. `vecF_(R_(3))=(1/(4 pi epsilon_(0)))q_(0)(sum_(i=1)^(4)(q_(i))/(r_(0I)^(2)))hatr_(oi)` for n point CHARGES around `q_(0)` `vecF_(0)=(1/(4 pi epsilon_(0)))q_(0)(sum_(i=q)^(n)(q_(i))/(r_(0i)^(2)))hatr_(0i)` The above forces `vecF_(01),vecF_(02),vecF_(03),vecF_(04)` may be represented by the sides of a POLYGON taken in order ane their resultant is represented by the closing side whose direction is taken in a reverse order. |
