A charge q 1 =7μc is located at the origin and a second charge q 2 =−5μc is located on the x-axis, 0. 30m from the origin. Find the electric field at the point p which has coordinates (0,0. 40)m

Respuesta :

The electric field at the point P which has coordinates (0,0. 40)m is [1.1×10⁵i +2.5×10⁵j​ ]N/C.

What is electric field?

The electric field is the region of space where an object experiences electric force of attraction or repulsion.

E₁ is the electric field due to q₁ =7μC at origin and E₂ is the field due to  q₂ = −5μC at (0,0.40)m

E₁ =kq₁/r₁²

E₁ =9×10⁹ ×7×10⁻⁶  /(0.40)²

E₁ =3.93×10⁵ N/C

​E₂ =kq₂/r₂²

​E₂=9×10⁹ ×5×10⁻⁶  /(0.50)²

​E₂=1.8×10⁵ N/C

The distance between q₂ and point P, r₂= √[(0.30)² +(0.40)²] =0.50m

Referring to the figure, sinθ= 0.40/0.50 =4/5 and cosθ= 0.30/0.50 = 3/5

The vector E₁ has only y component.

The Electric field has x component given by E₂ cosθ=3/5E₂ and a negative y component given by −E₂ sinθ = -4/5 E₂

 

Electric field in vector form is,

E₁  =3.93×10⁵ jN/C

E₂  =[1.08 i +(−1.44 j)]×10⁵ N/C

E = E₁ + E₂

E =[1.08×10⁵i +(3.9−1.44)×10⁵j]N/C

E =[1.1×10⁵i +2.5×10⁵j​ ]N/C

Thus, the electric field at the point p which has coordinates (0,0. 40)m is [1.1×10⁵i +2.5×10⁵j​ ]N/C.
