    Another electric field question

    Hello and thanks for the response. I did not understand that we had to deal with vectors in this problem. I have reviewed the text and I understand now. Finding the magnitude of the vectors of both x and y components is going to require multiplying by cos45 or cos(-45) which will give the...
