Question: Two charges (dipole) of +q = +6.00 ?C and ?q = ?6.00 ?C along the y-axis, separated by 3.00 m, as shown in the figure

Two charges (dipole) of +q = +6.00 ?C and ?q = ?6.00 ?C along the y-axis, separated by 3.00 m, as shown in the figure below. Point P is located 4.00 m directly to the right of the positive charge, as shown. The origin is located halfway between the charges.

y axis -9 3.00 m +q 4.00 m PO x axis

(a) At point P (test point), sketch and label the electric field E+ due to the positive charge +q, and the electric field E - due to the negative charge ?q and the net electric field.

(b) Calculate magnitudes of the electric fields E+ and E- at point P.

(c) Calculate the magnitude and direction of the net electric field Enet at point P.
