1. In the figure below, Q₁ (-6 µC) by Q₂ (2 µC) are shown.
Use k=9x10⁹ Nm²/C².
Q1
x=0
Q2
x=3cm x 4cm
X
Using Part 1, the electric field due to Q₁ and Q₂ at x = 3 cm should have looked like this. Q₂ is closer
to the point x=3 cm compared to Q₁. Therefore, |E₂| > |E₁|. Both fields point in the negative x-
direction.
