Electric Charges and Fields

One of the fundamental properties is the electromagnetic property. Charge cannot be destroyed by any process and this contributes formally to the law of charge conservation.

Question

1. A point charge is placed on the x-axis and gives an electric field of E, at the origin and an electric
field of 2E, at distance x = 5cm on the same axis. Both fields are pointing in the same x-axis
positive direction. What is the sign of the charge and position of that produces these fields?
2. Two charges (+) q is placed at a corner of a square of side a, on opposite side. While two
charges (-) q is placed are placed at the other two opposite sides. What is the potential energy
of this setup?
