1. In the figure below, q1 = -2e, q2 = +2e, q3 = +4e, and q4 = +2e, where e is the elementary charge. Charge q4 is located at the origin, while q2 and q3 are each a distance d2 = d3 = (2d)/3 from the origin. Charge 1 is a distance d1 = d from the origin. The dashed line connecting charge 1 and charge 4 makes an angle θ1 with respect to the negative x direction. Our goal is to find the net electric force on charge q4.

a. Let F41 be the force that q1 exerts on q4, F42 be the force that q2 exerts on q4, and F43 be the force that q3 exerts on q4. Draw vectors on the figure above that indicate the direction of each of these three forces (i.e. draw a free body diagram).

Remember to label each vector.

b. Determine  F41 , and F42, F43, in unit vector notation. Put your answers in terms of d, θ1, and physical constants.

c. Determine the net force exerted on q4 in unit vector notation. Put your answer in terms of d, θ1, and physical constants.
d. Determine the magnitude of F4. Put your answer in terms of d, θ1, and physical constants.

2. In the figure below, a non-conducting rod has a length L and a charge -q uniformly distributed along its length. Point P is a distance a from the right edge of the rod. Our goal in this problem is to find the electric field (both magnitude and direction) at point P. Assume that positive x is to the right.
