Abstract: Let $k$ be a field with $u$-invariant $leq2$. Assume further that $k$ is not quadratically closed, $mathsfchar(k)eq2$ and $|k|geq5$. It is known that the covering number of both $ext{SL}_2(k)$ and $ext{PSL}_2(k)$ is three, while their extended covering number is four. In this article, we completely describe the product of two conjugacy classes in $ext{SL}_2(k)$ and $ext{PSL}_2(k)$. Further, we also describe the product of three conjugacy classes (at least two of which are distinct) in $ext{SL}_2(k)$ and $ext{PSL}_2(k)$.
