    This document discusses solving complex electric field problems by combining the electric field equation with vector physics and algebra. It provides four example problems: 1) Determining the net electric field at the midpoint between two charges; 2) Determining the net electric field at a point P between two charges; 3) Determining the net electric field at a third corner of an equilateral triangle with two identical charges at the lower corners; 4) Finding where along an axis the net electric field is 0 between two charges located 100 cm apart along the axis.

    Solving Difficult Electric Field Problems

    Lesson Notes

    Focus Question:
    How can the electric field equation be combined with vector physics and algebra to conduct
    a force analysis of an electrostatic phenomenon?

    Electric Field Strength


    The equation for electric field strength (E) is written as follows:

    This video steps through the solution to four complex problems. Here are the four problems.
    Problem 1
    Two charges - A and B C - lie along the cm-axis at the positions as shown. Their charge
    values and type are listed. Determine the net electric field at the midpoint (40-cm mark).

    Problem 2
    Two charges - A and B - are arranged as shown. Their
    charge values and type are listed. Determine the net electric
    field at point P.

    QA = +5.4 µC
    QB = -3.6 µC
    Problem 3
    Two identical charges - A and B - lie at the lower
    corners of an equilateral triangle that measures 80 cm
    along each edge. The charge values are +2.8 µC.
    Determine the net electric field at the third corner of the
    triangle.

    Problem 4
    Charge A (+3.8 µC) and Charge B
    (-5.2 µC) lie 100-cm apart along the
    axis as shown. Where along the
    axis is the net electric field 0 N/C?
