Finding the angle for an electrostatic force
Oops... that was a stupid mistake, then. Switched the vectors around. (picture I drew attached) But, would the 1.903...e-9 be negitive or positive? In the equation it comes out negative, meaning it's a force of attraction. But since it's on the positive x-axis, it would have to be...- Kaani

Finding the angle for an electrostatic force
Homework Statement What is the angle θ between the electrostatic force on the charge at the origin and the positive x-axis? Answer in degrees as an angle between -180 degrees and 180 degrees measured from the positive x-axis, with counterclockwise positive. Coulomb constant is 8.98755e9...- Kaani
