I know that for electric field you always have to break E up into the x and y components for each charge---do you have to do the same thing when finding electric force using Coulombs law? I get the correct answer when i do NOT break F up into components (ie when finding F between 2 charges with one on the x-axis and the other on the y axis)...can someone please explain why I do not need to break up F into F_x and F_y?
