Question

Transcribed Image Text:A long thread of static charge lies along the x-axis, with a linear charge density 2.5 C/m. Additionally, a charge Q=-2.0 C is placed 5.0 cm below the thread,
along the y-axis, as shown.
Calculate the magnitude of the subsequent total electric field at the point indicated below (from both the charged line and Q). You can use the formula for the
thread derived in lecture**: E= 24. Your answer should be on the order of 1011 N/C, so just enter the coefficient. (For example, if you calculated 3.26 x
1011 N/C, input 3.26).
