Question 1
A 100uC point charge (Q1) is located in a rectangular coordinate system at (1, 1, 1) m and another point charge
(Q2) of 50uC is at (-1, 0, -2) m. Find the vector force on the first charge.
P1(1,1,1,) ; P2(-1,0,-2)
Vector on the first charge:
r12 = [(1) – (-1)]ax + (1-0)ay + [(1)-(-2)]az
r12 = 2ax + ay + 3az
