Two-point charges are arranged on the x-y coordinate system as follows: q1= 4x10^-8 C at (0,3 m) and q2= -9x10^-7 C at (5,0 m). Find the electric origin at (0,0). Using the Pythagorean theorem calculate for the magnitude E of the resultant electric field.
Answer
Electric field at origin due to q1
Electric field at origin due to q2
So net electric field at origin is
