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 direction of the electric field at the origin is (k is the Coulomb's constant) O to the left to the right toward the plane of the screen away from the plane of the screen

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 direction of the electric field at the origin is (k is the Coulomb's
constant)
to the left
O to the right
toward the plane of the screen
O away from the plane of the screen
