For the direction, consider the line joining the point charge and point at the distance 4.4 mm. The direction on this line away from the charge is positive and the direction towards the charge is negative. E = 3677.7 N/C (b) What force does the electric field found in the previous example exert on a point charge of -2.5-10-8 C? Hint: Indicate a force pointing in the direction of the field as positive and opposite the field as negative. F= -9.19-10-50 N
