Three electric charges are placed along the x-axis as follows : a +16 nC charge is placed at x = -8 cm, a -20 nC charge is placed at x = +4 cm, and a -10 nC charge is placed at x = +10 cm. Therefore, the magnitude of the electric field at the origin is (k is the Coulomb's constant) OK(1.6 x 10-5) N/C O (1.1 x 10-5 ) N/C O (11.10 x 10-5 ) N/C O k (6.1 k x 105)

Question
Three electric charges are placed along the x-axis as follows :
a +16 nC charge is placed at x = -8 cm,
a -20 nC charge is placed at x = +4 cm,
and a -10 nC charge is placed at x = +10 cm.
Therefore, the magnitude of the electric field at the origin is (k is the
Coulomb's constant)
O k(1.6 x 10-5 ) N/C
O k (1.1 x 10-5) N/C
O k (11.10 x 105 ) N/C
O k (6.1 k x 10-5)
