Electric field produced by 2 point charges (vector example)

[@bronwynwalker5471]

You have explained this so well. I really had trouble understanding the reasoning behind the vector addition and now I am finally starting to get it. Thanks!!

You are indeed that teacher I was looking for

[@isurangacooray9238]

Great content. Clear and straight to the point 👊 thank you so much

what happens when the field point is in the negative x axis? lets say -2.

[@yogesh7225]

For the unit vector of vector E2, why would it not be bxhat? Why not E2 = kQ2/b^2 (bxhat)?

[@CraigWLooney]

Yes, the unit vector for the field vector E2 *is* x-hat, as indicated on the middle left of the board where I wrote the fields E1 and E2 separately. (Note: In the result at the top in red pen, I added the E1 and E2 vectors together, and grouped the x-hat and y-hat terms.)

Craig W Looney Ok, thank you for the help!

Thank you, this explanation was very helpful.
