lar nonconducting rings are centered
on the same line with their planes
perpendicular to the line. Each ring
has charge that is uniformly distrib-
uted along its circumference. The
rings each produce electric fields at points along the line. For three
situations, the charges on rings A and B are, respectively, (1) qo and
9o, (2) -90 and -90, and (3) - and qo. Rank the situations
according to the magnitude of the net electric field at (a) point P1
midway between the rings, (b) point P, at the center of ring B, and
(c) point P3 to the right of ring B. greatest first.
