The electric field midway between two equal but opposite point charges is 651 N/C, and the distance between the charges is 15.6 cm. What is the magnitude of the charge on each?

First significant figure of answer: 200. pC
Answer to 3 significant figures.

(Recall: The metric prefix 'pico' (p) means 10-12)

Solutions

Expert Solution

The answer must be 220pc rather than 200 pc. We can round off it to 200 pc but that would make the electric field at midway to be much smaller than what is given.
