Homework Statement
A charge of q = +7.50 µC is located in an electric field.
The x and y components of the electric field are Ex = 6.40 103 N/C and Ey = 8.80 103 N/C, respectively.
(a) What is the magnitude of the force on the charge?
in Newtons
(b) Determine the angle that the force makes with the +x axis.
in degrees°
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
I'm not sure how to use the x and y components to solve this.
not sure why i couldn't just use an equation like this: force per coulomb of charge is F/q0 = N/C
