Question
Point charges q1=q2=2.79⨯10-9C are fixed on the y-axis at y = 0.832m and y = -0.832m. There is a charge q3 has 25⨯10-9 C at x=0.245m, y= -83 . The point P is at x=0.245m, y=0. (This is the same set up as the previous problem. However, the numbers and the component to calculate are different.)
What is the horizontal (x) component of the total electric field at P, due to all three charges in Newtons/Coulomb? Calculate to 1 decimal place.
You must draw and label a diagram. Which charges produce a horizontal electric field component?
