Consider the following. (a) Red blood cells often become charged and can be treated as point charges. Healthy red blood cells are negatively charged, but unhealthy cells (due to the presence of a bacteria, for example) can become positively charged. In the figure, three red blood cells are oriented such that they are located on the corners of an equilateral triangle. The red blood cell charges are A = 1.70 pC, B = 7.40 pC, and C = −4.50 pC. Given these charges, what would the magnitude and direction of the electric field be at cell A? magnitude N/C direction counterclockwise from the +x axis (b) If the charge of cell A were doubled, how would the electric field at cell A change? The magnitude of the field would be halved. The field would be unchanged. The magnitude of the field would be quadrupled. The magnitude of the field would be doubled.

Figure (a) shows an arrangement of three charged particles. Particles A and C are fixed on the x axis, but particle B can be moved along a circle centered on particle A. During the movement, a radial line between A and B makes an angle θ relative to the positive direction of the x axis (see Figure (b)). The curves in Figure (c) below give, for two situations, the magnitude Fnet of the net electrostatic force on particle A due to the other particles. That net force is given as a function of angle θ and as a multiple of a basic amount F0. For example on curve 1, at θ = 180∘, we see that Fnet = 2F0. (a) For the situation corresponding to curve 1, what is the ratio of the charge of particle C to that of particle B (including sign)? (b) For the situation corresponding to curve 2, what is that ratio? Assume d1 = d2 = d = 7.9 m. (a) Number Units (b) Number Units

Electric Forces from Multiple Charges Three charges are on a line, as shown below. a. What is the magnitude and direction of the force that the −2q charge exerts on the +q charge? (Don't forget to include k.) b. What is the magnitude and direction of the force that the +3q charge exerts on the +q charge? c. Draw the forces acting on charge +q (the middle one) from each of the other two charges. Be sure to start the force vectors on +q and scale the length of the vectors appropriately. d. What is the magnitude and direction of the net force acting on +q? e. What is the net force (magnitude & direction) acting on the +3q charge due to the other two charges?
