Question: Point charge q 1 = -5.00 nC is at the origin and point charge q 2 = +3.00nC is on the x -axis at x

Point charge q1 = -5.00 nC is at the origin and point charge q2 = +3.00nC is on the x -axis at x= 3.00cm. Point P is on the y-axis at y = 4.00cm.

Calculate the electric fields E⃗ 1 and E⃗ 2 at point P due to the charges q1 and q2. Express your results in terms of unit vectors.

Express your answer in terms of the unit vectors i^, j^. Enter your answers separated by a comma.

E1,E2=

Use the results of part (a) to obtain the resultant field at P, expressed in unit vector form.

Express your answer in terms of the unit vectors i^, j^.
