1. Four identical stationary point charges (q=+1 nC = nanoCoulomb) are placed at P₁(x = 0, y = -2 cm, z = 0), P₂ (0, +2 cm, 0), P3 (0, 0, -2 cm), and P₁ (0, 0, +2 cm) in a cartesian coordinate system. The charges are surrounded by air. Find the total electric force E tot acting on a +1 nC charge located at Pobservation (+2 cm, 0, 0). (a) Draw a simple sketch of this charge configuration. Find the total electric force FE tot acting on a +1 (nC nanoCoulomb) charge located at Pobservation (+2 cm, 0, 0). = (b) Calculate and electric field vector Etot at Pobservation- (c) Now change the charge at Pobservation to -2 nC and repeat parts (a) and (b) of this problem. (d) State in your own words the definition of the electric field? What does this tell you about the calculations of the electric field that you made in the two previous cases? (e) State in your own words the definition of the magnetic field. Is it applicable to this problem? Why or why not? LION
