what is the strength of the electric field at the position indicated by the dot in (figure 1)? Specifies the direction as an angle from the horizon. θ = ⁰. Answer: Charges are equidistant and both positive, so they repel with the same magnitude. Drawing a force cancels out the y component of the final field. Only the x component is present. And since they are the same, the resulting electric field will be twice the x component of the charge’s electric field. E=kq/r^2r= 5 x root2 = 7.07 cm or .0707 m (45-45 -90 right triangle properties) E=(9 x 10^9)(1 x 10^-9)/(. 0707 )^2= 1800.
