Question
QUESTION 1
A point charge q1 = 8.0 nC is at the origin and another point charge q2 = 12.0 nC is on the x-axis at X= 4.0 m.
Find the electric field at (x=0, y=3.0 m). Express all numerical values in three significant figures.
Calculate the electric field component due to each point charge. Fill out the table below. Express all numerical values in
three significant figures. Do not forget to include the sign if the value is negative.
E, (N/c)
Ey (N/c)
electric field due to charge 1 E1
electric field due to charge 2 E2
net electric field
From the components of the net electric field, we can calculate its magnitude using Pythagorean theorem. Thus the
value of the net electric field magnitude is
N/C
