Step 1
The charge located at the origin is given as,
q=12nC
=12nC×109C1nC
=12×109C
Step 2
(a)
The position at which electric field required is given as,
(x,y)=(0cm,5cm)
The distance of the required position from the origin can be determined as,
r=x2+y2
=(0cm)2+(5cm)2
=5cm×102m1cm
=0.05cm
The electric field strength at the required location can be determined as,
E=kqr2
=(9×109N.m2/C2)12×109C(0.05m)2
=43200NC

Step 3
(b)
The position at which electric field required is given as,
(x,y)=(5cm,5cm)
The distance of the required position from the origin cam be determined as,
r=x2+y2
=(5cm)2+(5cm)2
=7.1cm×102m1cm
=0.071cm
The electric field strength at the required location can be determined as,
E=kqr2
=(9×109N.m2/C2)12×109C(0.071m)2
=21424.3NC

Step 4
(b)
The position at which electric field required is given as,
(x,y)=(5cm,5cm)
The distance of the required position from the origin cam be determined as,
r=x2+y2=(5cm)2+(5cm)2=7.1cm×102m1cm=0.071cm
The electric field strength at the required location can be determined as,
E=kqr2=(9×109N.m2/C2)12×109C(0.071m)2=21424.3N/C
