(14\%) Problem 19: A positive charge of magnitude \( Q_{1}=0.65 \mathrm{nC} \) is located at the origin. A negative charge \( Q_{2}=-9.5 \mathrm{nC} \) is located on the positive \( \mathrm{x} \)-axis at \( x=12 \mathrm{~cm} \) from the origin. The point \( \mathrm{P} \) is located \( y=14.5 \mathrm{~cm} \) above charge \( Q_{2} \). \$ 17\% Part (a) Calculate the x-component of the electric field at point \( \mathrm{P} \) due to charge \( Q_{1} \). Write your answer in units of N/C. \[ E_{x, 1}= \]
Expert Answer
Figure shows the two charges Q1 and Q2 positioned at origin and x-axis respectively. Distance between charges is 12 cm and the test point P is at 14.5 cm from x-axis as shown in figure. Let E1 be the magnitude of electric field due to Q1 at point P .
