(d) With the metal block still in place, what is the magnitude of En, the field due only to the charged particle?
OE is zero, because the electric field due to the particle can't go through the block.
O E is the same as it was originally, without the block.
OE is less than it was originally, because the block is in the way.
(e) With the metal block still in place, how does the magnitude of Enet at location compare to the magnitude of E?
