Two point charges (q, and q2) are located on the x-axis respectively at x = 0 and x = d, as shown below. Let q = -3.0 µC, q₂ = +8.0 µC, and d = 8.0 cm. (a) (b) (c) q1 y -d 92 X Find the magnitude and direction of the net electric field on the y-axis at y = +6.0 cm. (Specify the direction as an angle measured counterclockwise from the +x axis.) Consider three regions along the x-axis: (i) left of q₁, (ii) between q, and q2, and (iii) right of 92. Identify any region(s), other than infinity, in which it is possible for the net electric field to be zero. Justify your answer qualitatively, but do not perform any calculations. Suppose a -1.5 µC test charge is placed on the y-axis at y = +6.0 cm. Determine the magnitude and direction of the net electric force on the test charge. Again, specify the direction as an angle measured counterclockwise from the +x axis. (Hint: The answers can be obtained in one line based on your results from part (a).)
