Transcribed Image Text:In this problem, you have two charges q1=3.55µC and q2=-4.88µC (µC stands for "micro-Coulomb). You are
asked to determine the value of the electric force at point P. q2 is located a distance of 6.37m to the left of P,
and q1 is located a further 1.7m to the left of q2- If the net electric field at point P points to the left, then your
value should be negative. If the value of the net electric field at point P is oriented to the right, then you value
should be positive.

Note: It is understood that the unit of your answer is in Newtons/Coulomb (N/C), however do not explicitly
include units in your answer. Enter only a number. If you do enter a unit, your answer will be counted wrong.
