A point particle with charge

q = 4.6 μC

is placed on the x axis at

x = −10 cm

and a second particle of charge

Q = 7.0 μC

is placed on the x axis at

x = +25 cm.

(a) Determine the x and y components of the electric field due to this arrangement of charges at the point

(x, y) = (10, 10)

(the units here are centimeters).

Ex =   N/C
Ey =   N/C


(b) Determine the magnitude and direction of the electric field at this point.
