b]1. Homework Statement [/b] Point charge q1= -5.00 is at the origin and point charge q2= +3.00 is on the -x axis at x= 3.00 cm. Point P is on the y-axis at y= 4.00 cm . Calculate the electric fields E1 and E2 at point P due to the charges q1 and q2. Express your results in terms of...

F = \sqrt{}(Fx^2 + Fy^2) ok i think i got it...Thank you very much for your help! :smile:

ok and the force exerted by q2 on q1 (F2) is also in the positve y direction and there is no x component for that force so now that i know the components for all the forces do i just add them all up...add the y component of F1 and F2 together? then do i just add the final x and y...

its x component points in the - x direction the y comp. points in the + y direction

actually no...only the x component is in the negative direction for F1 the y component of F1 is still positive

so F1 and its components are negative?

ok so the force that Q exerts on q1 is negative and the force that q2 exerts on q1 is positive

signs? :confused: I guess they are positive?

redo opps sorry the question didnt copy right. my fault Two positive charges q1 = q2 = 2.0 \muC are located at coordinate (0,.30) meters and (0,-.30) meters, respectively. The third point charge Q = 4.0 \muC and is located at (.40,0) meters. What is the net force magnitude and direction on...

Homework Statement Two positive charges = = 2.0 are located at = 0, = 0.30 and = 0, = -0.30 , respectively. Third point charge = 4.0 is located at = 0.40 , = 0.What is the net force ((a)magnitude and (b)direction) on charge exerted by the other two charges? Homework Equations Columbs...
