The strengths and locations of the charges are organized into a table, below.
A researcher places an instrument called a 'field detector' at the point (0,0).
The detector is designed to measure electrostatic field magnitudes and directions.

Note: All coordinates are measured and given in meters;
the (very very large) charge magnitudes
are given in Coulombs.
Also Note: The Coulomb constant for electrostatic interaction
can be very reasonably approximated by this value:
K. = 9 x 10° N
Draw a neat and clear sketch of the situation, as you understand it.
Your sketch must express a clear decision as to which direction will
be designated positive and which direction will be negative í
