A charge of q = +7.55 μC is located in an electric field. The x and y components of the electric field at this point are Ex = 6.14E+3 N/C and Ey = 8.17E+3 N/C, respectively. What is the magnitude of the force on the charge?
i know for sure that i am going in the wrong direction in this one. if i could just get some guidance as to what to do that would be a big help.
i started off by taking the two electric fields and adding them together and dividing by two to get an average...why? i don't know. then i took that answer and divided it by (q). the closest equation that i found in my book and my notes is no where near what i need to figure out this problem. and I've tried to look for multiple equations that i could use together but no dice. thank you for your time.
