    What is the Electric Field Required for Equilibrium of Charged Spheres?

    okay here's my problem, and the work I've done is below it. might be kinda long, I'm sorry: Two small spheres, each of mass 3.00 g , are suspended by light strings 10.0 cm in length (see figure). A uniform electric field is applied in the x direction. The spheres have charges equal to -6.0 * 10...

    Why Am I Struggling with Calculating the Electric Field in This Setup?

    thank you all Forgot to come back and thank you all! How rude of me! Of course the division by 10^-6 was a bonehead error on my part, once I got past that I almost got the problem...looking at andrevdh's generous response I could see that I was getting the y-component correct everytime, it was...

    Why Am I Struggling with Calculating the Electric Field in This Setup?

    I've been stuck on this relatively simple question for over an hour, can't get the right answer. I think my fundamental understanding of the units involved is flawed, I would really appreciate any kind of clarification as to what I'm doing... okay here goes. I'm given that three charges are at...
