the x axis at x = 50 cm. What is the magnitude of the electrostatic force on a third charge of
4.0 C placed on the x axis at x = 30 cm?
2) A point charge Q is placed on the x axis at the origin. An identical point charge is placed
on the x axis at x = 1.0 m and another at x = +1.0 m. If Q = 40 C, what is the magnitude of
the electrostatic force on the charge at x = +1.0 m?

P?

5) A 40-C charge is positioned on the x axis at x = 4.0 cm. Where should a 60-C charge be
placed to produce a net electric field of zero at the origin?
6) Charge of uniform density 4.0 nC/m is distributed along the x axis from x 2.0 m to x =
+3.0 m. What is the magnitude of the electric field at the point x = +5.0 m on the x axis?
7) A uniform linear charge of 3.0 nC/m is distributed along the y axis from y = 3 m to y

axis?
8) A particle (mass = 5.0 g, charge = 40 mC) moves in a region of space where the electric
field is uniform and is given by Ex = 2.5 N/C, Ey = Ez = 0. If the velocity of the particle at t =is
given by vy = 50 m/s, vx = vz = 0, what is the speed of the particle at t = 2.0 s?

9) A particle (mass = 5.0 g, charge = 40 mC) moves in a region of space where the electric
field is uniform and is given by Ex = 2.3 N/C, Ey = Ez = 0. If the position and velocity of the
particle at t = 0 are given by x = y = z = 0 and vz = 20 m/s, vx = vy = 0, what is the distance
from the origin to the particle at t = 2.0 s?
