Consider three-point charges A, B, and C as shown in the figure. If the resultant force on charge A due to charge B and charge C is 0.024 N, the direction of resultant force will be _____?
Answer: Toward Charge C
Explanation
Since the resultant force on charge A is 0.024 N, and charge A is positive, the force must be attractive.
Charge C is negative, so the force due to charge C on charge A is attractive.
Therefore, the resultant force is toward charge C.
