Find the magnitude and direction of the total electric field due to two point charges q1 (5 nC) and q2 (10 nC) at the origin, if q1 is 2 cm away from the origin on the -y axis, and q2 is 4 cm away on the +x axis.

2. Point charge q1 = -5.00 nC at the origin and point charge q2 = +3.00 nC is on the x-axis at x = 3.00 cm. Point P is on the y-axis at y = 4.00 cm. A. Calculate the electric fields E1 and E2 at point P due to the charges q1 and q2. Express your result in terms of unit vectors. B. Use the results of part A to obtain the resultant field at P, expressed in unit vector form.

00:01 Hello guys in this problem we have two charge q1 and q2 it is given that the charge q1 is placed at x equals 41 centimeter the charge q2 of minus 31 nanoculum placed at x equals 0 that is at origin we have to find out a point p so that the net electric field is 0 between the two charge if we consider a point p and at this point the electric field direction due to the electric field direction due to the negative charge will point towards negative x -axis.
00:35 This will be the electric field by the negative charge.
00:39 The electric field by the positive charge will also point towards the negative x -axis.
00:44 Hence, between these two, we can say the electric field at point b will always be non -zero.
00:51 Hence, the point must be outside the region between the two charge.
00:55 Let's suppose the point is b and its position is x...
