Answer:
E = (-3.61^i+1.02^j) N/C
magnitude E = 3.75N/C
Explanation:
In order to calculate the electric field at the point P, you use the following formula, which takes into account the components of the electric field vector:
(1)
Where the minus sign means that the electric field point to the charge.
k: Coulomb's constant = 8.98*10^9Nm^2/C^2
q = -4.28 pC = -4.28*10^-12C
r: distance to the charge from the point P
The point P is at the point (0,9.83mm)
θ: angle between the electric field vector and the x-axis
The angle is calculated as follow:
The distance r is:
You replace the values of all parameters in the equation (1):
The electric field is E = (-3.61^i+1.02^j) N/C with a a magnitude of 3.75N/C
