Homework Statement
Two charges, Q1 = 4*10-8 and Q2 = 2.7*10-8 are 3.25 m apart.
What is the electric field magnitude halfway between them?
Homework Equations
E = kQ/r2
The Attempt at a Solution
E1= k (4*10-8C)/(1.63m)2
= 135 N/C
E2= k (2.7*10-8C)/(1.63m)2
= 91.4 N/C
135 N/C - 91.4 N/C = 43.5 N/C
Is this correct?
