Physics education research, electronic materials, and the musings of Christopher Moore, Ph.D.

HI there. I am revising for my A level Physics exam in January. I have printed out past paper questions, but have no qnswers to them! I have worked through this question and was wandering if anyone could check to see I have done it correctly.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Two point charges, each of magnitude 4x10^-6C, are placed horizontally 500mm apart at points A and B respectively.

Calculate the force exerted on a point charge of 1x10^-6C at a point P, which is 500mm from A and B, in the cases when:

i) both charges A and B are positive (my answer 1.15x10^-12N)
ii) A is positive and the charge at B is negative (my answer 0N)

Thank you very much for assistance!

Mike
