I recently had a test question where I had to calculate a force on a charged particles from two other charges particles. The answer ended up having an x and a y component. I realized I wasn’t quite sure how to represent that vector. Should I just have written it as something like 5Nx^ + 6Ny^, or should I have solved for the magnitude of the resultant vector and stated the angle that the resultant vector was pointing in?
