Expert Solution
Step 1

According to coulomb's law the field at point (x,y) due to a charge at (x'y') is given by,

E(x,y)=14πε0qx-x'2+y-y'23x-x'i+y-y'j      (1)

 

Coulomb's law also follows superposition principle of superposition according to which the electric field at point due to a system of charges is given by the sum of electric fields at that point due to individual charges, mathematically,

Enet=E1+E2+E3+.......

 

The situation can be evaluated by setting the coordinates as shown below,
