Week 6 PHY 222 - E fields due to 2 point charges

In this mini-lecture, we think about how electric field vectors can add together to solve a problem. We will evaluate the net electric field at a point due to the presence of two charges. This video is for Dr. Maria Weber's PHY 222 - Physics for the Life Sciences II course at Delta State University. #OkraPhysics

Was really an excellent explanation to me

[@Cay-03]

This is amazing I understood fully

[@SalakramVerma]

Awesome 💯 explanation 💙💞💙

Thanks so much

I thought sine was opposite/hypotenuse and cosine was Adjacent/hypotenuse Is it different when doing an electric fields components? 12:38

I made a mistake in what I wrote on the board. Be sure to pay attention to the scrolling message at the bottom of the video at that time. I address this. However, the numerical answers are correct.

this is so weird i saw this today.. would the problem change a lot if it was two positive charges instead? I am currently trying to practice for an exam and ran into this same problem except two positive charges..

[@erynw7312]

It wouldn't change much except the two charges would be pointing outward on point P. I mean the answer would be a lot different but the idea is essentially the same so you could follow along with what she just did. Wishing you the best on your upcoming exam~~
