Question

In a rectangular coordinate system, a positive point charge q = 8.00 nC is placed at the point x= 0.150 m , y=0, and an identical point charge is placed at x= -0.150 m , y=0. Find the x and y components and the magnitude and direction of the electric field at the following points.

Part A

Find the x and y components of the electric field at the origin.

Part B

Find the magnitude of the electric field at the origin.

Part C

Find the x and y components of the electric field at x= 0.300 m , y=0.

Part D

Find the magnitude of the electric field at x= 0.300 m , y=0.

Part E

Find the direction of the electric field at x= 0.300 m , y=0.

part . c, d , e

. E = kQ/d²
E = 8.99*10^9N·m²/C² * 8.00*10^-9C * (1/(0.150m)² + 1/(0.450m)²)
E = 3551.60 N/C to the right <
