Answer:
11250 N/C
Direction: 0 deg counterclockwise from positive x-axis
Explanation:
= magnitude of charge on each particle = 5 μC = 5 x 10⁻⁶ C
= distance of each particle from center of circle = 2 m
= Magnitude of electric field at the center by each particle
Magnitude of electric field at the center by each particle is given as
inserting the values
From the diagram , we see that being equal and opposite, the electric fields due to charge q₁ and q₃ cancel out.
So net electric field at center is only due to charge q₂ direction towards positive x-direction
So
= Resultant electric field = 11250 N/C
Direction: 0 deg counterclockwise from positive x-axis
