Required:

a. Determine the direction of the force on a charge.

b. Determine the direction of the force on a charge.

1. along the line between the charge and the center of the square outward of the center

2. along the line between the charge and the center of the square toward the center

3. along the side of the square toward the other charge that lies on the side

4. along the side of the square outward of the other charge that lies on the side

    Given that:

    length of side, a = 0.5 m

    charge, q = 6.65 mC

    length of diagonal, d = 0.5 * sqrt (2)

    d = 0.707 m

    F is the force due to adjacent particle,

    F1 is the force due to diagonal particle

    Now, for the net charge on a particle

    Fnet = 2 * F * cos (45) + F1

    Fnet = 2*cos (45) * k * q^2/a^2 + k * q^2/d^2

    Fnet = 9*10^9 * 0.00665^2 * (2 * cos (45) /.5^2 + 1/.707^2)

    Fnet = 3.05 * 10^6 N

    the magnitude of net force acting on each particle is 3.05 * 10^6 N

    part B)

    for the direction of particle

    d) along the line between the charge and the center of the square outward of the center
