Two point charges are situated in a cartesian coordinate system as follow: Q1 = 7.2 x 10^-6 C @ the coordinates (-0.43, 0.62) m Q2 = -4.7 x 10^-6 C @ the coordinates (0.78, 0.43) m What is the direction of the net electric field at the origin (0,0)? Answer this as an angle measured in degrees relative to the +x direction. Let answers in the first 3 quadrants be positive and negative in the 4th quadrant.

Question
  • Two point charges are situated in a cartesian coordinate system as follow:

Q1 = 7.2 x 10^-6 C @ the coordinates (-0.43, 0.62) m

Q2 = -4.7 x 10^-6 C @ the coordinates (0.78, 0.43) m

What is the direction of the net electric field at the origin (0,0)?  Answer this as an angle measured in degrees relative to the +x direction. Let answers in the first 3 quadrants be positive and negative in the 4th quadrant.
