Two charges, one of charge +2.5 × 10-5 C and the other of charge +3.7 × 10-6 C, are 25.0 cm apart. The +2.5 × 10−5 C charge is to the left of the +3.7 × 10−6 C charge. a. Draw a diagram showing the point charges and label a point Y that is 20.0 cm to the left of the +3.7 × 10-6 C charge, on the line connecting the charges. (Field lines do not need to be drawn.) b. Calculate the net electric field at point Y.arrow_forward
