Two point charges -Q and Q are located at points (d, 0) and (0, d) respectively, in x-y plane. The electric field E at the origin will be:
Solution:
Charge −Q is located at (d, 0). The distance from the origin is d. Since the charge is negative, the electric field at the origin points toward the charge, i.e., along
Charge +Q is located at (0, d). The distance is d. Since it is positive, the electric field at the origin points away from the charge, i.e., along
The resultant electric field is the vector sum:
-
The magnitude would be , but the vector expression matches the required form.
The electric field is .
