Answer:
zero
Explanation:
q = 6.4 nC = 6.4 x 1 0^-9 C
d = 16 cm = 0.16 m
r = 16 / 2 = 8 cm = 0.08 m
Electric field at P due to the charge placed at A
Ea = k q / r^2
Ea = ( 9 x 10^9 x 6.4 x 10^-9) / (0.08 x 0.08) Towards right
Ea = 9000 Towards right
Electric field at P due to the charge placed at B
Eb = k q / r^2
Eb = ( 9 x 10^9 x 6.4 x 10^-9) / (0.08 x 0.08) Towards left
Eb = 9000 Towards left
The magnitude of electric field is same but teh direction is opposite, so the resultant electric field at P is zero.
