In a rectangular coordinate system, a positive point charge q = 6.50 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 electric field at the following points.
a) Find the x and y components of the electric field at x = 0, y = 0.200 m.
b) Find the magnitude of electric field at x = 0, y = 0.200 m
c) Find the direction of electric field at x = 0, y = 0.200 m (in degrees)
The question is based on concept of Electric field due to point charges
ans on concept of vector components .
The formula for electric field at a poiint whose distance from charge q is r is given by the formula,
