17.41 In a rectangular coordinate system, a positive point charge q = 4.00 nC is placed at the point x= 0.220 m, y=0, and an identical point charge is placed at x=-0.220 m , y=0. Find the x and y components and the magnitude and direction of the electric field at the following points.

Part C asks for the x and y components and part D asks for the magnitude AND direction. Please show work if possible!

Solution

C)

X-Component of electric field at (0.44,0)

E_x=E_1x+E_2x =KQ/r₁² + KQ/r₂²

E_x=(9*10⁹)(4*10^-9)[1/(0.44-0.22)² + 1/(0.44-(-0.22))²]

E_x =826.4 N/C

d)

Y-Component of electric field at (0.44,0) is

E_y=0 N/C
