Homework Statement
The figure shows two charged particles on an x axis: -q = -8.00 × 10-19 C at x = -1.50 m and q = 8.00 × 10-19 C at x = 1.50 m. What are the (a)x- and (b)y- components of the net electric field produced at point P at y = 5.00 m?
Homework Equations
E=kqcos(theta)/r^2
The Attempt at a Solution
I went through the tutorial to solve the problem and i got:
What is the magnitude of the x component of the field set up by particle 1 (or particle 2)?
Number 7.58e-11 Units N/C or V/m
-- that was correct but the question is what are the net components of the net field and i put in that number and its wrong. What step am i missing?
thanks.
