    Strength of Electric Field with a point charge

    Problem: A +11 nC charge is located at the origin. Question: What is the strength of the electric field at the position x,y (-5cm, 5cm) ? I would think you would do this but when I try it I get the wrong answer for x-axis - E=k|q|/r2 For y-axis - E=k|q|/r2 Then \sqrt{}Ex^2 + Ey^2
