Question

Two parallel, uniformly charged, infinitely long wires carry opposite charges with a linear charge density ? = 6 µC/m and are 8 cm apart. What is the magnitude and direction of the electric field at a point midway between them and 53 cm above the plane containing the two wires? (The wires are directed into the screen. Take up to be the +y direction and to the right be the +x direction. Assume that xz-plane contains these wires. The positively charged wire is on the left, and negatively charged wire is on the right.)
....What is the magnitude of the electric field at the point?

Explanation / Answer

wrong answer, it should be vector sum of 2 Electric fields.
