Transcribed Image Text:A charge q₁ is located on the x-axis at x = 3.60 m, and a charge q2 is located on the y-axis at y = 5.60 m. At the origin, these charges produce a total electric field that points at an angle of 39.0° above the negative
x axis. What are the signs of 91 and 92?
Incorrect q₁ is negative, 92 is negative.
Incorrect q₁ is negative, q2 is positive.
Correct: 9₁ is positive, 92 is negative.
Incorrect q₁ is positive, 92 is positive.
