Consider the charge Q = 50 C placed at (0 m, 15 m) and Q = -100 C placed at (-20 m, 0 m). a. Determine the magnitude of the net electric field at the origin. b. Determine the polar direction of the net field at the origin. C. Determine the magnitude and polar direction of the force a charge q = -3 mC would experience at O. (Hint: since F = q, a negative charge will experience a force in the direction opposite to the electric field: 0F Q 180 +8E). y + 2 0 X Consider the charge Q = 50 C placed at (0 m, 15 m) and Q = -100 C placed at (-20 m, 0 m). a.
