Chapter 21, Problem 21.39E

A +2.00-nC point charge is at the origin, and a second −5.00-nC point charge is on the x-axis at x = 0.800 m. (a) Find the electric field (magnitude and direction) at each of the following points on the x-axis: (i) x = 0.200 m; (ii) x = 1.20 m; (iii) x = −0.200 m. (b) Find the net electric force that the two charges would exert on an electron placed at each point in part (a).
