Answer:
Explanation:
Electric field due to charge at origin
= k Q / r²
k is a constant , Q is charge and r is distance
= 9 x 10⁹ x 5 x 10⁻⁶ / .5²
= 180 x 10³ N /C
In vector form
E₁ = 180 x 10³ j
Electric field due to q₂ charge
= 9 x 10⁹ x 3 x 10⁻⁶ /.5² + .8²
= 30.33 x 10³ N / C
It will have negative slope θ with x axis
Tan θ = .5 / √.5² + .8²
= .5 / .94
θ = 28°
E₂ = 30.33 x 10³ cos 28 i - 30.33 x 10³ sin28j
= 26.78 x 10³ i - 14.24 x 10³ j
Total electric field
E = E₁ + E₂
= 180 x 10³ j +26.78 x 10³ i - 14.24 x 10³ j
= 26.78 x 10³ i + 165.76 X 10³ j
magnitude
= √(26.78² + 165.76² ) x 10³ N /C
= 167.8 x 10³ N / C .
