Homework Statement A rod 11.9 cm long is uniformly charged and has a total charge of −17.7 μC. Find the magnitude of the electric field along the axis of the rod at a point 46.2418 cm from the center of the rod. The Coulomb con- stant is 8.98755 × 109 N · m2/C2. lecture problem I am...

so #3 is the same as #1? i used the equation to calculate the e field for the 2 points: origin to the right of the origin, and origin to south of origin. then i took the square root of the squares of those values, and got part 1 again?

Homework Statement Consider three charges in a triangle as shown. 1. What is the net electric force on the charge at the origin? 2. What is the direction of this force(between -180 and 180)? 3. What is the magnitude of the net electric field at the position of the charge at the...

What i don't understand is, my professor did a similar problem in class, except with 3 charges, and used the units in microcoloumbs and got the right answer? Or should i be doing all the problems in coloumbs instead?

Homework Statement Part 1: A charge of 2 µC is at the origin, and a charge of 6 µC is on the x-axis at x = 1 m. Find the force on charge q2. The Colulomb constant is 8.98755 × 10^9 N · m2/C2. Answer in units of N Part 2: Find the force on q1. Answer in units of N Homework...
