Question
Two charges of value 8.48 nC are equal but of opposite signs are place at equidistance of cm above and below the y-axis. We will calculate the value of the electric field (a vector) at a position <3.50,0> cm on the x-axis.

 

(a) Calculate the x-component of the electric field vector at the position <3.50,0> cm due to the charge 8.48 nC at the position <0,3.75>.
