Problem 10-38 Addition of Electric fields

Diagram of two negative charges.

Two negative charges have locations as shown in the Figure. Charge q1 is  3.6×108C; charge q2 is  5.2×108C. What is the electric field (magnitude and direction) at (a) point A? (b) point B?


The direction of the field E1 due to q1 at the point A is:

Three possible directions for electrical Field A, B, C.

(A)

(B)

(C)
