Explanation / Answer

electric field due to charge = k * q / d^2

x component of electric field due to charge = 9 * 10^9 * -15 * 10^-9 / (0.045 - 0.011)^2

a) x component of electric field = -116782.007 N/C

b) y component of electric field = 0 N/C

x component of electric field = 9 * 10^9 * -15 * 10^-9 / (0.045 + 0.011)^2

c) x component of electric field = -43048.4694 N/C

d) y component of electric field = 0 N/C

electric field = 9 * 10^9 * -15 * 10^-9 / (0.045^2 + 0.011^2)

angle = tan^-1(0.045 / 0.011)

angle = 76.26 degree

x component of electric field = 9 * 10^9 * -15 * 10^-9 * cos(76.26) / (0.045^2 + 0.011^2)

e) x component of electric field = -14941.6162 N/C

y component of electric field = 9 * 10^9 * -15 * 10^-9 * sin(76.26) / (0.045^2 + 0.011^2)

f) y component of electric field = -61107.5386 N/C
