Q1 is a -50 µC charge is located at the origin. Q2 is a +20 µC charge is located on the y axis at y = 4 m. Consider a point P located on the x axis at x = 2 m.What is the magnitude of electric field due to Q1 at the point P?What are the x and y components of the electric field due to Q1 at the point P? Be sure to include direction.What is the magnitude of electric field due to Q2 at the point P?What are the x and y components of the electric field due to Q2 at the point P? Be sure to include direction. What is the magnitude of the total electric field at point P?A 3rd charge Q3= +2µC is now placed at point P. What is the magnitude of the electric force experienced by Q3?
