#### Problem 6 (10/10 Points)
**SERCP11 15.3.P.018. 1/5 Submissions Used**

**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.)

**Figure Description:**
- There are three charges arranged along a horizontal line:
    - A \(6.00 \, \mu C\) charge located to the far left.
    - A \(1.50 \, \mu C\) charge positioned 3.00 cm to the right of the \(6.00 \, \mu C\) charge.
    - A \(-2.00 \, \mu C\) charge placed 2.00 cm to the right of the \(1.50 \, \mu C\) charge.
- The field strength \(2.027 \, \times \, 10^7 \, \frac{N}{C}\) is provided.

**Answer Fields:**
- **Magnitude:** \(2.027 \, \times \, 10^7 \, \frac{N}{C}\)

(b) If a charge of \(-7.36 \, \mu C\) is placed at this point, what are the magnitude and direction of the force on it?

**Answer Fields:**
- **Magnitude:** 147 N
- **Direction:** [toward the left]

**Assistance:**
- Need Help?
