Question

Transcribed Image Text:Point charge A is on the x-axis at x = -3.00 cm. At x = 1.00 cm on
the x-axis its electric field is 2700 N/C. Point charge B is also on the
x-axis, at x = 5.00 cm. The absolute magnitude of charge B is twice
that of A
Find the magnitude and direction of the total electric field at the origin if A is positive and B is negative.
Express your answer in newtons per coulomb. Enter positive value if the field points in +x-direction and negative value if the field points in -x-direction.
