Principle of Superposition Problem Solving Strategies:
• When several point charges are put together, the total force
on any one charge is the vector sum of the each of the
separate forces acting on that charge. • Draw a clear FORCE diagram
• Exercise: • Use consistent units (meter, Coulomb,
Newton)

F • Remember that the force is a vector
• Look for symmetry

Keeping subscripts straight and figuring out the directions
Charges not on a line: need to use components
of r̂1,2 and r̂1, 3 is tedious. ⇒ Draw a force diagram.

Try to avoid the temptation to plug in numbers immediately.
Let Q = 1.60 × 10 −19 C.
Then q1 = +Q Fnet = −F21 + F31 Draw a force diagram:
