Question
Two point charges: -25µC and +50µC, 10 cm apart. Field at point P, 2 cm from negative charge? (repeat)
Correct Answer
Option B is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
E1 = k(25e-6)/(0.02)² = 5.625×10⁸ towards positive. E2 = k(50e-6)/(0.08)² = 7.03×10⁷ away from positive. Net = 4.92×10⁸ towards positive.
Hint
E = kq/r², vector sum.
