1. The force, F, on a charge, q, located in an electric field, E, is given by

F = q*E

In component form for Andes

F_x = q * E_x

F_y = q * E_y

F = abs(q) * E (magnitudes)

2. The net electric field, Enet, due to several sources is the vector sum of the electric field due to each source.

Enet = E1 + E2 + E3 + …

In component form for Andes

Enet_x = E1_x + E2_x + E3_x + …

Enet_y = E1_y + E2_y + E3_y + …
