Chap: 18

The charge of a single proton is +e,

and the charge of a single electron
is –e, where e = 1.60×10−19 C.

The net charge of the ionized atom

is the sum of the charges of its constituent protons and electrons.

EG: q = 26(+e)+7(−e)= +19e = +19(1.60×10−19 C)= +3.04×10−18 C

For quests
where spheres are
brought together so
they touch, and then
they are separated, to
find the final charge on
each object we add all
the given charges and
divide it by the
number of charges.
EG: if 4 charges are
given 1,2,3,4 we
1+2+3+4 = 10/4

For quests
where Two of the
spheres are brought together so they touch, and then they are separated. Which spheres are
they, if the final charge on each one is +5.0 μC? We use trial & error method where we try
different combinations of numbers by adding them to get our final ans as +5uC. EG: we have 4
charges; -8,-2, +5 & +12 so we add +12-2 = 10/2 =+5u.
 substitute only the charge
magnitudes (without
algebraic signs) for |q1|
and |q2|. Do not
substitute negative
numbers for these symbols.

For equation:
F=kq1*q2
R^2

The Force on a Point Charge Due to

Two or More Other Point Charges:

Suppose that a third point charge (magnitude |

q3|) is also present. What would be the net force
on q1 due to both q2 and q3? It is convenient to
deal with such a problem in parts. First, find the
magnitude and direction of the force exerted on
q1 by q2 (ignoring q3). Then, determine the force
exerted on q1 by q3 (ignoring q2). The net force
on q1 is the vector sum of these forces. Look at
