The two particles in Figure 23. 19 have the same mass, carry charges of the same magnitude ( (left.q_{1}=-q_{2}>0 ight)), and are equidistant from point

The two particles in Figure 23. 19 have the same mass, carry charges of the same magnitude ( \(\left.q_{1}=-q_{2}>0\right)\), and are equidistant from point \(P\).

(a) What is the electric field direction at \(\mathrm{P}\) ?

(b) At \(\mathrm{P}\), what is the direction of the gravitational field due to the two particles? Ignore Earth's gravitational field.
