Question

Find the total electric field at x=11 cm.

A configuration of charges is shown below. q= 5 nC 0 E -29 5 +q +3q -2a 10 The electric fields due to the charges -2q, +q, +3q, and -q at x = 11 cm are shown below. The direction of the electric field due to a point charge at any point is along the line joining the charge and the point and away from the charge for a positive charge and towards the charge for a negative charge. E x (cm) -9 -E ta E +3q x= 11 cm The electric fields due to -2q at x = 11 cm is in the negative x-direction, and due to -q, +q and +3q is in the positive x-direction. The strength of the field is determined by the charge and the distance between the charge and the point. The net electric field in Part 1 will point in the positive x-direction. (a) Find the total electric field at x = 11 cm.
