Question

Two charges + 12 nC and -12 nC, are placed at (- 3.5 m, 0) and (3.5 m, 0) respectively. The Coulomb constant is given by k = 8.99x109 N m2 / C2, a) If the field E from the positive charge at (0, 1 m ) is given by E = a x + b y , find a and b respectively Number Units Number Units b) If the field E from the negative charge at (0, 1 m) is given by E = c x + d y , find c and d respectively Number Units Number Units c) If we add the two fields, the resultant field E will take the form E = A x + B y , find A and B respectively Number Units Number Units d) If you were to place a positive charge at the location (0, 1 m) , in which direction would the charge be pushed? right i.e. positive x-axis left i.e. negative x-axis up i.e. positive y-axis down i.e. negative y-axis e) What if we place a negative charge instead, in which direction would it be pushed? right i.e. positive x-axis left i.e. negative x-axis up i.e. positive y-axis down i.e. negative y-axis
