In crystals of the salt cesium chloride. cesium ions Cs+ form the eight corners of a cube and a chlorine ion Cl- is at the cube's center. The edge length of the cube is 0.40 nmCs+ ions are each deficient by one electron (thus each has a charge +e), and the Cl- ion has one excess electron (thus has a charge -e).

A What is the magnitude of the net electrostatic force exerted on the Cl- ion by the eight Cs+ ions at the corners of the cube?

B If one of the Cs+ ions is missing, the crystal is said to have a defect. What is the magnitude of the net electrostatic force exerted on the Cl- ion by the seven remaining Cs+ ions?

In the figure, particle 1 (of charge q1) and particle 2 (of charge q2) are fixed in place, on the x-axis, 8.00 cm apart. Particle 3 (of charge q3 =+6.00×10-19 C) is to be placed on the line between particles 1 and 2, so that they produce a net electrostatic force F3,net on it. Figure gives the x-component of that force versus the coordinate x, at which particle 3 is placed. The scale of the x-axis is set by xn=8.0 cm.
