A small object A, electrically charged, creates an electric field. At a point P located 0.250 m directly north of A, the field has a value of 40.0 N/C directed to the south. If a second object B with the same charge as A is placed at 0.250m south of A (so that objects A and B and point P follow a straight line), what is the magnitude of the total electric field produced by the two objects at P?

E_total = - 50 N / A

Explanation:

The electric field is a vector magnitude whereby

          E_total = Eₐ + E_b

where the bold letters indicate vectors, in this case the charges of the two objects A and B are the same and they are on the same line

         E_total = - E_a - E_b

the electric field for a point charge is

        E_a =

        qₐ= Eₐ rₐ² / k

indicates that Eₐ = 40.0 N / C

        qₐ = 40.0 0.250²/9 10⁹

        qₐ = 2.777 10⁻¹⁰ C

indicates that the charge of the two points is the same

        qₐ = q_b

      E_total = - k qₐ / rₐ² - k qₐ / (2 rₐ)²

      E_total =

we calculate

       E_total = - 40.0 (5/4)

       E_total = - 50 N / A

50 inches should be the resultant vector

colorectal cancer may also develop from areas of abnormal cells in the lining of the colon or rectum. this area of abnormal cells is called dysplasia and is more commonly seen in people with certain inflammatory diseases of the bowel such as crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis.
