What is the electric field magnitude at (0, 100 mmmm, 0)?

What quantity of charge must be placed at (0, -100 mmmm, 0) to make the electric field magnitude zero at the position calculated in the previous part?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given :

Conversions: 1mm = 1×10-3 m  &  1μC = 1×10-6 C

Three concentric circles with radius 50 mm = 0.05 m , 70 mm=0.07 m and 90 mm = 0.09 m with charges 1.5 μC = 1.5×10-6 C , -1.7 μC =-1.7×10-6 C and 2 μC = 2×10-6 C respectively.
