Point charge q1 = -9.30 μC is at the origin (0,
0), point charge q2 = +4.67 μC is at (x = 2.67 cm,
y = 0) on the x-axis, and charge q3 = +2.35 μC is
at (x = 0, y = 1.50 cm) on the y-axis. Point P is at (x =
2.67 cm, y = 1.50 cm). The diagram below is not to scale.
Calculate the resultant electric field at point P, which is at
coordinates (x = 2.67 cm, y = 1.50 cm). Express your answer
both in terms of x- and y-components as well as magnitude and
direction. Include a picture of the xy coordinate system, the
three charges q1, q2, and q3, and
the electric field vectors E1, E2, and
E3, which are produced by charges q1,
q2, and q3, respectively, at point P, and the
resultant electric field vector. Give your answer in terms of
x- and y- components as well as in terms of magnitude and
direction.
