Question

17.41 In a rectangular coordinate system, a positive point charge q = 4.00 nC is placed at the point x= 0.220 m, y=0, and an identical point charge is placed at x=-0.220 m , y=0. Find the x and y components and the magnitude and direction of the electric field at the following points.

Part C asks for the x and y components and part D asks for the magnitude AND direction. Please show work if possible!

Find the x and y components and the magnitude and direction of the electric field at 0.440 m , y 0. E,, Ey= 661,0 N/C Submit My Answers Give Up Incorrect; Try Again; 3 attempts remaining Part D N/C Submit My Answers Give Up

Explanation / Answer

C)

X-Component of electric field at (0.44,0)

Ex=E1x+E2x =KQ/r12 + KQ/r22

Ex=(9*109)(4*10-9)[1/(0.44-0.22)2 + 1/(0.44-(-0.22))2]

Ex =826.4 N/C

d)

Y-Component of electric field at (0.44,0) is

Ey=0 N/C
