Problem Statement

Charges -2nC and 2nC are located at x= -0.1cm and x=0.1cmrespectively. Determine the electric field at the points (-1 cm, 0cm), (1 cm, 0 cm), (0 cm, 1cm), (0 cm, -1 cm) and (1 cm, 1 cm).

Visual Representation

  • Draw a sketch of the charge distribution.

  • Establish a coordinate system and show the locations of thecharges.

  • Identify the point P at which you want to calculate the electricfield.

  • Draw the electric field of each charge at point P. ⃗

  • Use symmetry to determine if any components of Enet arezero.

Mathematical Representation ⃗

  • For each charge, determine its distance from P and the angle ofE i

  • Determine the field strength of each charge.

  • Write each vector in component form. ⃗

  • Sum the vector components to determine E net.

  • Check result for correct units and that it is reasonable.
