Question: Three point charges Q 1 = 1 . 5 5 n C , Q 2 = - 3 . 7 2 n C and Q

Three point charges Q1=1.55nC,Q2=-3.72nC and Q3=3.59nC are shown in the figure. The distance in the figure are: d1=1.77cm,d2=1.06cm,d3=1.27cm and d4=1.78cm.
The figure is not to scale.
Use k=8.99109Nm2C2 and assume to the right is the +x-direction.
(A) Calculate the electric field from each charge at the field point A.
EQ1=4.41***10???4NC
EQ2=
EQ3=-1.92***10???4NC
Find the total electric field at A.
EA=
