Two linear charge distributions parallel to each other are in the vertical position, 60.0 cm apart. The linear charge density of the distribution on the left is λ1 = 6,20 * 10^- 9 C/m, while the other is λ2= - 4, 40 * 10^-9 C/m. Assume that the linear distributions extend, in vacuum, to infinity.
► In the plane containing them, determine the modulus of the total electric field at the points to the right of the two linear distributions, 20.0 cm away from the second distribution.
1) Determine the direction of the electric field generated by each linear charge distribution at the points indicated.
2) Calculate the moduli of the electric fields generated by the two linear charge distributions at the points indicated.
3) Take into account the vector nature of the electric field to calculate the total electric field at the given points.
