Question

(a) Determine the electric field strength at a point 1.00 cm to the left of the middle charge shown in the figure below. (Enter the magnitude of the electric field only.)

Three charges lie along a horizontal line. A 6.00 µC positive charge is on the left. 3.00 cm to its right is a 1.50 µC positive charge. 2.00 cm to the right of the 1.50 µC charge is a −2.00 µC charge.

 N/C

(b) If a charge of −7.88 µC is placed at this point, what are the magnitude and direction of the force on it?
