    1. Two charges, qA = 1 μC and qB = 4 μC, are separated by 4 cm. The electric field at the center between the charges is calculated to be 6.75x107 N/C by treating each charge as a point source and taking the resultant of their individual electric fields. 2. Charge q3 of 1 μC is located 5 cm to the right of charge q2 of -5 μC. The electric fields from each charge, E1 and E2, are calculated and the resultant electric field at q3 is 1.6x107 N/C, pointing leftward towards q2.

    Additional Problems

    Electric Field Intensity

    1. Two charges qA = 1 μC and qB = 4 μC are separated by a distance of 4 cm (k = 9 x 109 N m2 C−2). What


    is the magnitude of the electric field at the center between qA and qB?
    qA E=? qB

    d = 0.04m

    Given:

    Charge A (qA) = 1 μC = 1 x 10−6 C


    Charge B (qB) = 4 μC = 4 x 10−6 C
    k = 9 x 109 N m2 C−2
    Distance between charge A and B (dAB) = 4 cm = 0.04 meters
    Distance between charge A and the center point (dA) = 0.02 meters
    Distance between charge B and the center point (dB) = 0.02 meters

    Find: the magnitude of the electric field at the center between qA and qB

    Solution:

    The electric field produced by charge A at the center point :

    EA = kqA = (9x109 Nm2C-2) (1x10-6 C) = 2.25x107 N/C


    dA2 (0.02 m)2

    Test charge is positive and charges A is positive so that the direction of the electric field points to charge B

    The electric field produced by charge B at the center point :

    EB = kqB = (9x109 Nm2C-2) (4x10-6 C) = 9x107 N/C


    dB2 (0.02 m)2

    Test charge is positive and charge B is positive so that the direction of the electric field points to
    charge A.
    The resultant of the electric field at the center point :
    EA and EB have the opposite direction.
    E = EB- EA = 9x107 N/C - 2.25x107 N/C = 6.75x107 N/C

    qA E=6.75x107 N/C qB

    d = 0.04m
    2. Charge q3 located at 5 cm rightward of q2, as shown in the figure below. What is the magnitude of the
    electric field at charge q3 (1 µC = 10-6 C)?
    Given:
    E=?

    q3 = 1x10-6 C

    Charge q1 = 5 µC = 5 x 10-6 Coulomb


    Charge q2 = 5 µC = -5 x 10-6 Coulomb
    Distance between charge q1 and charge q3 (d1) = 15 cm = 0.15 m = 15 x 10-2 meters
    Distance between charge q2 and charge q3 (d2) = 5 cm = 0.05 m = 5 x 10-2 meters
    k = 9 x 109 N m2 C-2

    Solution:
    E=?

    Charge q3 is positive so that the direction of the electric field at charge q3 points to the minus charge q2 (E2)
    and away from the plus charge q1 (E1). The resultant of the electric field is the sum of the electric field
    E1 and E2.
    Find: The electric field at charge q3
    The electric field 1 :
    E1 = k q1 / d12
    E1 = (9 x 109)(5 x 10-6) / (15 x 10-2)2
    E1 = (45 x 103) / (225 x 10-4)
    E1 = 0.2 x 107 N/C
    The electric field 2 :
    E2 = k q2 / d22
    E2 = (9 x 109)(5 x 10-6) / (5 x 10-2)2
    E2 = (45 x 103) / (25 x 10-4)
    E2 = 1.8 x 107 N/C
    Resultant of the electric field :
    The resultant of the electric field at charge q3 :
    E = E2 – E1 = (1.8 x 107) – (0.2 x 107) = 1.6 x 107 N/C
    The direction of the electric field points to leftward (same direction as E2)
