Question: Two point charges ( q 1 = - 3 . 7 mu C and q 2 = 6 . 1 mu C ) are fixed

Two point charges (q1=-3.7mu C and q2=6.1mu C) are fixed along the x-axis, separated by a distance d =6.9 cm. Point P is located at (x,y)=(d,d).Later, a third point q3=3.3mu C is positioned along the y axis at a distance d=6.9 cm from q1 as shown.
In the two charge configuration what is the x component Ex(P) of the electric field produced by q1 and q2 at point P?
N/C
In the two charge configuration what is the y component Ey(P) of the electric field produced by q1 and q2 at point P?
N/C
In the third charge configuration what is the x component Ex(P) of the electric field produced by all three charges at P?
N/C
