A 6.00-$\mu$C charge is placed at the origin and a second charge is placed on the x axis at x = 0.300 m. If the resulting force on the second charge is 6.40 N in the negative x direction, what is the force on the charge at the origin?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Newton's third law, the force on the charge at the origin will be equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force on the second charge. Therefore, it is 6.40 N in the positive x direction.
