The electric field at the midway between two charges is 7059.9N/C
Explanation:
Given-
charge, q1 = 35.5 X 10⁻⁹ C
q2 = 77.2 X 10⁻⁹C
distance, r = 46.1cm
midway distance, r = 23.05 cm = 0.2305 m
Coulomb’s constant, k = 8.99 X 10⁹ Nm²/C²
Electric field, E = ?
We know,
Therefore, electric field at the midway between two charges is 7059.9N/C
