(a) If the particle in Figure 23.6 carries a negative charge \(q

(b) Does the electric field created by the particle point toward or away from the particle?

(c) If \(q\) and \(q_{2}\) are negative, what are the direction of \(\vec{F}_{\mathrm{p} 2}^{E}\) and the direction of the electric field created by the particle at the location of object 2 ?

(d) If \(q\) is positive, does the electric field created by the particle point toward or away from the particle?

(e) How does the magnitude of the electric field created by a particle that carries a charge \(+q(q>0)\) compare with the magnitude of the electric field created by a particle that carries a charge \(-q\) of identical magnitude at a distance \(d\) from each particle?
