Charge q1 = -10 nC is located at the point (x = 0 cm, y = 3 cm), and a second charge, q2 = 10 nC is at the point (x = 4 cm, y = 0 cm). A third charge, q3 = +10 nC is located at the origin (x = 0 cm, y = 0 cm). 3.1. CALCULATE the NET Electric FIELD at Point, P1. (both magnitude and direction) Hint: Present your answer in the following steps (i) Pictorial representation of the charges. Identify the point of interest and circle it (ii) Physical representation. Draw a labeled vector-diagram at the Point of interest. (Write down all the other relevant angles). (iii) Mathematical representation. Calculate the magnitudes of Electric Field and Use the unit vector with a diagram to determine the direction of the ne Electric Field. (iv) Calculate the NET Electric FIELD at Point P (both magnitude and direction). 3.2. How much work was done to assemble the three charges? (Hint: Same as calculating the electric potential energy of the system).
