Question

Electric Fields Problem Statement A 5.0-LC point charge is placed at the 0.00 cm mark of a meter stick and a -4.0-LC point charge is placed at the 50 cm mark. At what point on a line joining the two charges is the electric field due to these charges equal to zero? Visual Representation • Draw a sketch of the charge distribution. • Establish a coordinate system and show the locations of the charges. • Identify the point at which you want to calculate the electric field. • Draw the electric field of each charge at point P. • Use symmetry to determine if any components of Ener are zero. Mathematical Representation • For each charge, determine its distance from P and the angle of E • Determine the field strength of each charge. • Write each vector in component form. • Sum the vector components to determine Ener Check result for correct units and that it is reasonable. .
