    Sign and direction on charges, coulumbs law

    By Newton's 3rd law forces come in pairs only. q2 is pulling q3 along the positive x-axis and at the same time q3 is also pulling q2 along the -ve x-axis with the same magnitude. Acctually they are equal and opposite forces.

    Sign and direction on charges, coulumbs law

    First thing to be remembered in calculating the force is don't use the sign of the charge in the equation. Try to see the direction in which the charge will move. In the first case the charge q3 will be repelled by charge q1 and it will move towards right with a force 1.18x10^-4N. In the second...

    Can a Bird Fly Horizontally in a Cage With Downward Acceleration?

    i think that there can't be a motion in the horizontal direction with constant velocity when there is an acceleration in the downward direction. If the bird flies at an angle then the vertical component of the force will be compensated by mg and still there will be a net horizontal component of...

    Point charges and their movement in 3 space

    When the charges are at rest, the only force between them is the electrostatic force. But when the charges move with a velocity then a magnetic field is produced around them.
