Field lines and field strength Practice Problems Online

Four charged particles are held on the same plane, as shown in the above figure. The respective charges of the particles are \(q_1=q_2=+5.0 \,\mu\text{C},\) \(q_3=+4.0 \,\mu\text{C},\) and \(q_4=-16.0 \,\mu\text{C},\) and the distance \(d\) in the figure is \(8.0 \text{ mm}.\) What is the magnitude of the net electric field at point \(P\) due to the four particles?

The value of electrostatic constant is \(\displaystyle k=\frac{1}{4\pi\varepsilon_0}=8.99 \times 10^9 \text{ N}\cdot\text{m}^2\text{/C}^2.\)

Four particles are at the corners of a square with side length \(a=5.00\text{ cm},\) as shown in the above figure. The respective charges of the particles are \(q_1=+12.0\text{ nC},\) \(q_2=-24.0\text{ nC},\) \(q_3=+24.0\text{ nC},\) and \(q_4=-12.0\text{ nC}.\) What are the magnitude and direction of the net electric field at the center of the square?

The value of electrostatic constant is \(\displaystyle k=\frac{1}{4\pi\varepsilon_0}=8.99 \times 10^9 \text{ N}\cdot\text{m}^2\text{/C}^2.\)

Three charged particles are held on the \(xy\)-plane, as shown in the above figure. The distance denoted \(d\) in the figure is \(d=6.00\,\mu\text{m}.\) If the respective charges of the particles are \(q_1=q_2=+4e\) and \(q_3=+8e,\) what is the magnitude of the net electric field at point \(P\) due to the three charged particles?

The value of electrostatic constant is \(\displaystyle k=\frac{1}{4\pi\varepsilon_0}=8.99 \times 10^9 \text{ N}\cdot\text{m}^2\text{/C}^2\) and the elementary charge is \(e=1.60 \times 10^{-19}\text{ C}.\)
