In this problem, you have two charges q1=1.49µC and q2=-0.12µC (µC stands for "micro-Coulomb).  You are asked to determine the value of the electric force at point P. q2 is located a distance of 6.42m to the left of P, and q1 is located a further 2.33m to the left of q2.  If the net electric field at point P points to the left, then your value should be negative.  If the value of the net electric field at point P is oriented to the right, then you value should be positive.     Note:  It is understood that the unit of your answer is in Newtons/Coulomb (N/C), however do not explicitly include units in your answer.  Enter only a number.  If you do enter a unit, your answer will be counted wrong.

In this problem, you have two charges q1=1.49µC and q2=-0.12µC (µC stands for "micro-Coulomb).  You are asked to determine the value of the electric force at point P. q2 is located a distance of 6.42m to the left of P, and q1 is located a further 2.33m to the left of q2.  If the net electric field at point P points to the left, then your value should be negative.  If the value of the net electric field at point P is oriented to the right, then you value should be positive.

 

 

Note:  It is understood that the unit of your answer is in Newtons/Coulomb (N/C), however do not explicitly include units in your answer.  Enter only a number.  If you do enter a unit, your answer will be counted wrong.
