Neco 2017 Physics Objective / Multiple Choice Hard Difficulty
Question 22 NECO • 2017 • PHYSICS • objective

Two point charges are fixed in the xy‑plane. Charge \(q_{1}=+8\,\mu\text{C}\) is at the origin \((0,0)\). Charge \(q_{2}=-2\,\mu\text{C}\) is at \((0.12\,\text{m},0)\). Determine the magnitude of the net electric field at point \(P\) with coordinates \((0.12\,\text{m},0.09\,\text{m})\). Also give the direction of the net field measured as the angle below the positive x‑axis. Give the magnitude in \(\text{N·C}^{-1}\) to three significant figures and the angle in degrees to one decimal place.

Answer Options

Correct Answer A. 2.57×10^{6} N·C^{-1}, 6.7° below the positive x‑axis
B. 2.57×10^{6} N·C^{-1}, 6.7° above the positive x‑axis
C. 2.57×10^{6} N·C^{-1}, 12.5° below the positive x‑axis
D. 2.31×10^{6} N·C^{-1}, 8.2° below the positive x‑axis
Correct Answer
A
Correct Option:
2.57×10^{6} N·C^{-1}, 6.7° below the positive x‑axis
