Question
Two point charges are placed on the x axis. (Figure 1)The first charge, q1 = 8.00 nC , is placed a distance 16.0 m from the origin along the positive x axis; the second charge, q2 = 6.00 nC , is placed a distance 9.00 m from the origin along the negative x axis.
Calculate the electric field at point A, located at coordinates (0 m, 12.0 m ).
Give the x and y components of the electric field as an ordered pair. Express your answer in newtons per coulomb to three significant figures.
