Question

1. State the principle of superposition and use it to
obtain the expression for the total force exerted on
a point charge due to an assembly of (N-1) discrete
point charges.​

Answer 1

Answer:

principal of superposition states that the force on a point charge due to some other point charge remains unchanged. the only changes is the net force on a point charge due to introduction of charge.

accordingtoprincipal of superposition,

force on charge at n= force on charge due to 1+force on charge due to 2+force on charge due to 3++force on charge due to n-1+

Answer 2

Explanation:

principal of superposition states that the force on a point charge due to some other point charge remains unchanged. the only changes is the net force on a point charge due to introduction of charge.

accordingtoprincipal of superposition,

force on charge at n= force on charge due to 1+force on charge due to 2+force on charge due to 3++force on charge due to n-1+
