Point charge \( q_{1}=-5.00 \mathrm{nC} \) is at the origin and point charge \( q_{2}=+3.00 \mathrm{nC} \) is on the \( x \)-axis at \( x= \) 3.00 cm . Point \( P \) is on the \( y \)-axis at \( y=4.00 \mathrm{~cm} \). Review Constants Calculate the electric fields \( E_{1} \) and \( E_{2} \) at point \( P \) due to the charges \( q_{1} \) and \( q_{2} \). Express your results in terms of unit vectors (see example 21.6 in the textbook). Express your answer in newtons per coulomb in terms of the unit vectors \( \hat{i} \), \( \hat{j} \). Enter your answers separated by a comma.

Step 1
- \( q_1 = -5.00 \, \text{nC} \) is at the origin \((0, 0)\). - \( q_2 = +3.00 \, \text{nC} \) is at \((3.00 \, \text{cm}, 0)\). - Point \( P \) is at \((0, 4.00 \, \text{cm})\). Show more…

Point charge q1 = -5.00 nC is at the origin and point charge q2 = +3.00nC is on the x -axis at x = 3.00cm. Point P is on the y-axis at y= 4.00cm. Part A: Calculate the electric fields E⃗1 and E⃗2 at point P due to the charges q1 and q2. Express your results in terms of unit vectors. Part B: Use the results of part (a) to obtain the resultant field at P, expressed in unit vector form.
