Consider a charged particle at a pointS whose coordinates are (8 m, 4 m, 10 m). We would like to find the electric field vector at a point P whose coordinates are (7 m, 2 m, 6 m). The "unit vector" r ^ is a vector that points from S to P that has length of 1 (or "unity"). What is its y component, in meters

Answer:

E=[tex]k*\frac{q}{21}*u[/tex]

[tex]u=\frac{1}{\sqrt{21}} *(-1,-2,-4)m[/tex]

[tex]u_{y}=\frac{-2}{\sqrt{21}} m[/tex]

Explanation:

q: particle's charge

k: coulomb constant

E=E*u

r=r*u

r=distancia vectorial entre P y S

r=distancia escalar entre P y S

E: Electric field vector

E: magnitud of magnetic field vector

u: unit vector radial

then:

[tex]E=k*q/r^{2}[/tex]

r=r*u

r=P-S=(-1,-2,-4)m

[tex]r^{2}=(Magnitude(P-S))^2=(-1)^2+(-2)^2+(-4)^2=21[/tex]

[tex]r=\sqrt{21}[/tex]

E=[tex]k*\frac{q}{21}*u[/tex]

u=r/r=[tex]\frac{1}{\sqrt{21}} *(-1,-2,-4)m[/tex]

[tex]u_{y}=\frac{-2}{\sqrt{21}} m[/tex]
