1. Homework Statement [/b]
The electric potential in a region of space is given by V = axy where a = 1.7 V/m2.
(a) What is the electric field at the point x = 3.5 m, y = 2.0 m? Give your answer in unit
vector notation.
(b) If a particle of mass m = 1.67 × 10 −27 kg and charge q = +1.6 × 10 −19 C is released from
this point, what is the magnitude of its initial acceleration?
V=axy
(a)V=(1.7)(3.5)(2)
11.9
This seems to simple is this correct. Also do not understand unit vector notation.
(b) unsure of the equation to use
