Q1 is at origin, Q2 is at (30,15), Q3 is at (0,30) (allin cm), i need to calculate the electric field at point P (15,15), but i dont know what to use as r (distance) in the formula....what equation finds r? all examples i've seen already tell me r instead of the x,y.

Determine the magnitude and direction of the electric field at apoint midway between a -8.0 µC and a +5.0 µC charge 5.0 cm apart?Assume no other charges are nearby.
Magnitude:_______ N/C

Direction: I know the direction is towards the negative charge butI'm not so sure why.


I used the equation E=k Q1/(r/2)^2 - k Q2/(r/2)^2 I didn't get theright answer so I assume this is wrong but I don't know what otherequation to use. Please help! Thanks!

PLEASE HELP ME WITH MY EXTRA CREDIT HOMEWORK PROBLEM, I NEED ALLTHEEXTRA CREDIT POINTS THAT I CAN GET, THANK YOU FOR YOURTIME.

A charge Q1 = -1.6 x10-6C is fixed onthex-axis at +4m, and a charge Q2 = +9 x10-6Cis fixed on the y- axis at +3.0m.

a) Calculate the magnitude ans direction of the electricfield E atthe origin O due to the two charges. Draw andclearly label thisvector on the coordinate axis.

b) Calculate the electric potential V at thee origin.

A charge Q3 = -4 x 10-6C is brought fromavery distant point by an external force and placed attheorigin.
c) On the axis above, indicate and clearly label the directionofthe force on Q3 at the origin.

d) Calculate the work that had to be done by the externalforce tobring Q3 to the origin from the distant point.

Consider a ring of charge with total charge Q and with a radiusof R, centered at the origin in the x-y plane. Determine theelectric field at any location along the z-axis. Fill in theBLANKS.





1. Because of symmetry, the electric field at any point on thez-axis will always be in the _________________

2. Therefore, we only need to consider the ______________________of any contribution to the electric field from a single element ofcharge on the ring.

3. To calculate the electric field at a point on the z-axis, we aregoing to integrate around the ring of charge. The radius of thering is constant and therefore it makes sense for the variable ofintegration to be ___________________.

4. The z-component of the electric field from a single element ofcharge (dQ) is
_______________________________________ (write in terms of dQ, zand r-the distance from the element of charge to the pointp).

5. To calculate the charge on dQ we need to know the charge perunit length which is given by__________________________________________

6. An element of charge, dQ, has a length of _____________ (answerin terms of R and Θ) and a charge of______________________________.

7. The distance from this element to the point p is given by:______________________

8. Rewriting # 4 in terms of #6 and #7 we get that_______________________________

9. Now to find the total electric field for a point along thez-axis we simply integrate around the ring making_____________________________________________

10. Suppose that z was really really large (much larger than R).What would you expect the electric field to behave as?

11. Suppose that z was zero. What do you expect the electric fieldto be?

12. Does your solution match these limiting situations?Explain.
