Problem 10-38 Addition of Electric fields
Two negative charges have locations as shown in the Figure. Charge \(q_1\) is \(-3.6\times 10^{-8} C;\) charge \(q_2\) is \(-5.2 \times10^{-8} C.\) What is the electric field (magnitude and direction) at (a) \(\text{point A}\)? (b) \(\text{point B}\)?
The direction of the field \(E_1\) due to \(q_1\) at the \(\text{point A}\) is:
