Homework Statement
An electric dipole is formed from
a. (x, y) = (10 cm, 0 cm)
b. (x, y) = (0 cm, 10 cm)
Homework Equations
Pythagorean Theorem a^2 + b^2 = C^2
F= (kq1q2)/r^2
The Attempt at a Solution
I solved for r^2 using the Pythagorean theorem and I got it to equal 0.01 m. Plugging r into the Force equation I got 900N. I think for part a I need to use vectors of the angle created between the x-axis and the hypotenuse (r) but I am not sure how to use that to get the electric field strength.
