Electric charge and electric feild prblem

AI Thread Summary
To determine the force on each charge in a square configuration with a charge of 6.00 mC at each corner, one must apply the principles of electrostatics. The forces acting on each charge can be calculated using Coulomb's Law, considering the contributions from the other three charges. A sketch illustrating the force vectors for clarity is recommended. By employing the superposition principle, the net force on each charge can be computed. This approach allows for a comprehensive understanding of the interactions between the charges in the system.

And your attempt at a solution is...?
 
Draw a sketch of the question then draw the force vectors that each of the 3 charges apply to the 4th and use the Law that governs the strength of the force at any point in space around a point charge to determine, using superposition, the net force of each of the charges.
 
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
