A proton is at the origin. One electron is at the point (2m, 4m)
and the other is at the point (-2m, -4m). What is the net force on
the proton? F=

Answer:

Correct answer:  F = 0 N

Explanation:

All three elementary charges are in the same straight line or direction.

Since the electron and proton are opposite charged, their force is attractive and directed toward the electron.

The forces are of the same intensity-magnitude and opposite directions and are canceled, so the resultant- net force by which the electrons act on the proton is zero.

The magnitude of the net force acting on the proton is zero (0) Newton.

Given the following data:

  • Point A = 2m, 4m.
  • Point A = -2m, -4m.

How to calculate the net electrostatic force.

Mathematically, the electrostatic force between two (2) charges is given by this formula:

[tex]F = k\frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}[/tex]

Where:

  • q represent the charge.
  • r is the distance between two charges.
  • k is Coulomb's constant.

Since the distance between the electron and proton are opposite in magnitude, the net force acting on them is considered to be attractive and directed toward the electron.

Thus, net force would have the same magnitude but opposite in directions and as such they are canceled out.

In conclusion, the magnitude of the net force acting on the proton is zero (0) Newton.
