A test charge of 2.50 μC is placed at various points in an electric field where it experiences forces in the positive direction of 25.0 μN at point A, 250 μN at point B, and 2.50 mN at point C. (a) What is the electric field strength at those points? (b) What forces would the field exert on a particle with charge −2.50 μC at the same points? (c) What forces would the field exert on an electrically neutral particle at the same points?
