Please explain the steps/reasoning in your work. 

The figure shows four situations in which four charged particles are evenly spaced to the left and right of a central point. The charge
values are indicated.

-P-PP-- p -|
Rank the situations according to the magnitude of the net electric field at the central point. If multiple situations rank equally, use
the same rank for each, then exclude the intermediate ranking (i.e. if objects A, B, and C must be ranked, and A and B must both be
ranked first, the ranking would be A:Greatest, B:Greatest, C:Third greatest). If all situations rank equally, rank each as 'Greatest'.
