Question
In problem 21.96 of your book, University Physics 15th edition (see End of the Chapter 21 section), what is the magnitude of the electric field (in N/C)?
Figure P21.96
21.96 •. Two charges are placed as
shown in Fig. P21.96. The magnitude
of q1 is 3.00 µC, but its sign and the
value of the charge q2 are not known.

E
The direction of the net electric field
E at point P is entirely in the negative
y-direction. (a) Considering the different
possible signs of q1 and q2, four possible diagrams could represent the electric
fields Ej and E2 produced by qı and q2. Sketch the four possible electric-
field configurations. (b) Using the sketches from part (a) and the direction of
E, deduce the signs of q, and q2. (c) Determine the magnitude of E.
