Homework Equations
E=kq/r^2
The Attempt at a Solution
The electric field due to 1 of the electrons is:
E=kq/r^2
E=(9e9)(1.6E-19) / (.0325^2)
E=1.363E-6
The electric field due to the other electron is the same, correct? They should be.
So, the net electric field due to the 2 electrons is twice this, or 2.72E-6.
When I submit this, it comes back incorrect. What am I doing wrong? It's only asking for magnitude, not direction, so I'm submitting the absolute value, disregarding the direction.
