Electric fields are vector quantities whose magnitudes are measured in units of volts/meter (v/m). find the resultant electric field when there are two fields, e1and e2, where e1 is directed vertically upward and has magnitude 100 v/m and e2 is directed 45 degrees to the left of e1 and has magnitude 150 v/m. use a graph to show vector drawing!

Er = 231.76 V/m, 27.23° to the left of E1

Explanation:

To find the resultant electric field, you can use the component method. Where you add the respective x-component and y-component of each vector:

E1:

E2:

Keep in mind that the x component of electric field E2 is directed to the left.

∑x:

∑y:

The magnitud of the resulting electric field can be found using pythagorean theorem. For the direction, we will use trigonometry.

or 27.23° to the left of E1.
