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.

1- 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), ( E2x, E2y),( E3x,E3y).

2- Do you think that electric fields obey a principle of superposition? That is, is there a "net field" at this point given by Enet=E1+E2+E3? Use what you learned in this chapter and previously in our study of forces to argue why this is or is not true.

        Yes

No
