Another charge q2 is located at x = 0.56 m and has a value of -4.2 nC. Calculate the angle of the net electric field at a point in space located at y = 0.205 m (right above q1). Important note: The angle must be measured from the nearest x-axis (not necessarily the total angle from the postive x axis). Also remember angles measured counterclockwise are positive and angles measure clockwise are negative. Give your numerical result to three significant figures and in "units" of degrees (measures of angle are not real units). Do not type in anything after the number.arrow_forward
