Answer:
10250 N/C leftwards
Explanation:
QA = 4 micro Coulomb
QB = - 5 micro Coulomb
AP = 6 m
BP = 2 m
A is origin, B is at 4 m and P is at 6 m .
The electric field due to charge QA at P is EA rightwards
[tex]E_{A}=\frac{KQ_{A}}{AP^{2}}=\frac{9\times10^{9}\times4\times10^{-6}}{6^{2}}=1000 N/C (rightwards)[/tex]
The electric field due to charge QB at P is EB leftwards
[tex]E_{B}=\frac{KQ_{B}}{BP^{2}}=\frac{9\times10^{9}\times5\times10^{-6}}{2^{2}}=11250 N/C (leftwards)[/tex]
The resultant electric field at P due the charges is given by
E = EB - EA
E = 11250 - 1000 = 10250 N/C leftwards
