Find the unknown charges q1 and q2
Ok, so could I do this? Since Ex = 2/√2*(q1 - q2)*(ke/(2a2)) Ey = 2/√2*(q1 + q2)*(ke/(2a2)) Then (q1 - q2) = (Ex * a2*√2)/ke + (q1 + q2) = (Ey * a2*√2)/ke -------------------------------- q1 = (a2*√2)/ke * (Ex + Ey) So then q2 = (a2*√2)/ke * (Ey - Ex) Is that correct?- JessieS

Thank you! And no I am not. I am supposed to just use Ex and Ey as variables.- JessieS

Find the unknown charges q1 and q2
Homework Statement The geometrical positions of point-like charges and point A situated in the xy-plane in terms of the length parameter a. The vector of electric field E at point A is shown schematically and measured as E = Exi + Eyj (that is, both Ex and Ey are given). If possible, find the...- JessieS
