Consider a particle with a charge of -33.4 nC at a point whose coordinates are (-0.06 m, -0.05 m, 0.12 m). We would like to find the electric field vector E at a point whose coordinates are (0.10 m, -0.05 m, 0 m). a) What are the coordinates of the "source"? b) What are the coordinates of the "observation point"? c) Explain how to calculate the components of the vector rps and show that they are (0.16 m, 0 m, -0.12 m). d) What is the value |rps|? e) What are the components of the unit vector rps (rps / |rps|)? f) What is the value of Q / (4*pi*ɛ0*|rps|2)? Is this equal to the value of |E| in this case? g) Determine the components of vector E at the given point.
