Exercise 2 1. Four 10nC positive charges are located in the z=0 plane at the corners of a square 8cm on a side. A fifth 10nC positive charge is located at a point 8cm distant from the other charges. Calculate the magnitude of the total force on this fifth charge for € = €0 . 2. A chargeQ1=0. 1μC is located at the origin, whileQ2=0. 2μCis at A(0. 8, −0. 6,0). Find the locus of points in the z=0 plane at which the x component of the force on a third positive charge is zero. 3. Point charges of 50nC each are located at A(1, 0, 0), B(−1, 0, 0), C(0, 1, 0), and D(0, −1, 0) in free space. Find the total force on the charge at A. 4.
