Two charges, Q1= 3.60 μC, and Q2= 6.40 μC are located at points (0,-3.00 cm ) and (0,+3.00 cm), as shown in the figure.
What is the magnitude of the electric field at point P, located at (4.50 cm, 0), due to Q1 alone?
so I got 1.11×107 N/C which is right
now ,
What is the x-component of the total electric field at P?
here what I did
E2= KQ2/(L^2)
and then :
cos alpha = x2/l
alpha = 56.309
then Epx = (E1x)*sin alpha +(E2x)*sin alpha
my final answer was 9.2335*10^-6 N/C
but it did not work out with me :(
