Question

Three 1.0 nC charges are placed as shown in the figure. Each of these charges creates an electric field E at a point 3.0 cm in front of the middle charge.

A)What are the three fields E1, E2 and E3 created by the three charges? Write your answer for each as a vector in component form.

E1x, E1y= ____________kN/C

E2x,E2y = ____________kN/C

E3x, E3y = ____________kN/C

B)Do you think that electric fields obey a principle of superposition? That is, is there a "net field" at this point given by E? net=E? 1+E? 2+E? 3? Use what you learned in this chapter and previously in our study of forces to argue why this is or is not true. Yes or No

Explanation / Answer

(1).

E1 = kq1/r1
