why we do not apply the triangle law of vector addition while adding electric current ?
Added by John M.
Step 1
It states that if we have two vectors, we can add them by placing them head to tail and drawing a third vector from the tail of the first vector to the head of the second vector. This third vector represents the sum of the two vectors. Now, let's consider Show more…

A charge $q$ is at the point $x=1 \mathrm{m}, y=0 \mathrm{m} .$ Write expressions for the unit vectors you would use in Coulomb's law if you were finding the force that $q$ exerts on other charges located at (a) $x=1 \mathrm{m}, y=1 \mathrm{m} ;$ (b) the origin; and $(\mathrm{c}) x=2 \mathrm{m}, y=3 \mathrm{m}$ You're not given the sign of $q .$ Why doesn't this matter?
