H2 Physics · JC 2 · Hard · Field of a point charge
Two point charges, +Q and −Q, are fixed 0.40 m apart in vacuum. Point P lies on the line joining them, 0.10 m from the +Q charge and 0.30 m from the −Q charge. The electric field strength at P is V m⁻¹ directed towards the −Q charge. Using , calculate the magnitude of Q.
