1.	Explain the application of Superposition principle of force between multiple charges.
Answer» The principle is based on the property that the forces with which two charges attract or repel each other are not affected by the presence of a third (or more) additional charge(s). For an assembly of charges q₁, q₂, q₃, ..., the force on any charge, say q₁, is the vector sum of the force on q₁ due to q₂, the force on q₁ due to q₃, and so on. For each pair, the force is given by the Coulomb’s law for two charges. The electric field E at a point due to a charge configuration is the force on a small positive test charge q placed at the point divided by the magnitude of the charge. Electric field due to a point charge q has a magnitude \|q\|/4π ε₀r² ; it is radially outwards from q, if q is positive, and radially inwards if q is negative. Like Coulomb force, electric field also satisfies superposition principle.

Answer»

The principle is based on the property that the forces with which two charges attract or repel each other are not affected by the presence of a third (or more) additional charge(s). For an assembly of charges q₁, q₂, q₃, ..., the force on any charge, say q₁, is the vector sum of the force on q₁ due to q₂, the force on q₁ due to q₃, and so on. For each pair, the force is given by the Coulomb’s law for two charges.

The electric field E at a point due to a charge configuration is the force on a small positive test charge q placed at the point divided by the magnitude of the charge. Electric field due to a point charge q has a magnitude |q|/4π ε₀r² ; it is radially outwards from q, if q is positive, and radially inwards if q is negative. Like Coulomb force, electric field also satisfies superposition principle.
