Problem 17.41 Enhanced- with Solution 29 of 33> Constants Find the magnitude of the electric field at the origin. In a rectangular coordinate system, a positive point charge q = 4.00 nC is placed at the point 0.1 50m . y 0, and an identical point charge 1 is placed at x-:-0. 150m . y 0. Find the x and y çomponents and the magnitude and direction of the electric field at the following points.

Explanation / Answer

electric field at origin due to charge placed at x=0.15m,y=0 is 9*109*4*10-9/0.152 = 1600 (towards negative x direction)

electric field at origin due to charge placed at x=-0.15m,y=0 is 9*109*4*10-9/0.152 = 1600 (towards positive x direction)

net electric field at origin = 1600-1600=0

therefore, at origin,net electric field is 0
