ANSWER:Solution 40 P
Step 1 of 1
We have to determine the direction and magnitude of the electric field at the point on the perpendicular bisector of the line joining the charges, a distance
from the midpoint between them and the two charges are separated by a distance of
The components of the electric fields due to charge
and
cancels out each other at the point
