An object having a mass of 11.0 g and a charge of 8.00 ✕ 10-5 C is placed in an electric field E with Ex = 5.70 ✕ 103 N/C, Ey = 380 N/C, and Ez = 0. What is the force acting on the object in each direction?

Respuesta :

Answer : [tex]F_{x} = 45.6\times10^{-2}\ N[/tex], [tex]F_{y} = 3040\times10^{-5} N[/tex] and [tex]F_{z} = 0\ N[/tex]

Explanation :

Given that,

Charge of the object q = [tex]8.00\times 10^{-5}\ C[/tex]

Electric field in x-direction [tex]E_{x} = 5.70\times10^{3}\ N/C[/tex]

Electric field in y- direction [tex]E_{y} = 380\ N/C[/tex]

Electric field in z - direction [tex]E_{z} = 0[/tex]

Now, using formula

[tex]F = q E[/tex]

Now, the force on the object in x- direction

[tex]F_{x} = 8.00\times10^{-5} C \times5.70\times10^{3} N/C[/tex]

[tex]F_{x} = 45.6\times10^{-2}\ N[/tex]

The force on the object in y- direction

[tex]F_{y} = 8.00\times10^{-5}\ C\times 380\ N/C[/tex]

[tex]F_{y} = 3040\times10^{-5} N[/tex]

The force on the object in z- direction

[tex]F_{z} = 8.00\times10^{-5}\ C\times 0[/tex]

[tex]F_{z} = 0\ N[/tex]

Hence, this is the required solution.
