Question 4

Solution

A small object A, electrically charged, creates an electric field. At a point P located 0.250 m directly north of A, the field has a value of 40.0 N/C directed to the south.


Part A: What is the charge of object A?

 

Part B: If a second object B with the same charge as A is placed at

0.250 m south of A (so that objects A and B and point P follow a straight line), what is the magnitude of the total electric field produced by the two objects at P?
