Expert Solution
Step 1

"As per the guidelines i solved the first three subpart".

(a)

Since, the two charges are equal in magnitude and at equal distance from the origin, the magnitude of the force on charge q due to both are equal.

The two charges are located on opposite sides of the test charge, the forces are in opposite direction.

Therefore, the resultant of the two equal and opposite forces on the charge q will be equal to zero.

(b)

The electric field at the origin due to the two charges is,

E=Fq=0

Therefore, the resultant electric field at origin due to the two charges is zero.
