A point charge q1 = -4nC is at the point x = 0.6m, y = 0.8m while a second charge q2 = 6nC is at the point x = 0.6m and y = 0m. What is the magnitude and the direction of the electric field at the origin?
Added by Nathan I.
Step 1
We need to find the magnitude and direction of the electric field at the origin (0,0) due to two point charges: q1 = -4nC located at (0.6m, 0.8m) and q2 = 6nC located at (0.6m, 0m). Show more…

A point charge of q1= -4.00nC is at a point (0.60m, -0.80) and a second charge q2= +6.00nC is at a point (-0.60m, -0.80m). Calculate the magnitude and direction of the net electric field at the origin due to these two point charges.

Two charges, q1 = 10.0 nC, are placed at the point x = 0, y = 6.00 cm, and q2 = -10.0 nC is located at x = 6.00 cm, y = 0. What are the magnitude and direction of the net electric field at the origin due to these charges?

(II) Determine the direction and magnitude of the electric field at the point $P$ shown in Fig. $64 .$ The two charges are separated by a distance of 2$a$ . Point $P$ is on the perpendicular bisector of the line joining the charges, a distance $x$ from the midpoint between them. Express your answers in terms of $Q , x , a ,$ and $k .$
