Charges q,q,and -q are placed on the x-axis at x = 0,x = 4 m,and x = 6 m,respectively.At which of the following points does the electric field have the greatest magnitude?

Question

Charges q,q,and -q are placed on the x-axis at x = 0,x = 4 m,and x = 6 m,respectively.At which of the following points does the electric field have the greatest magnitude?​

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

At x = 5 m, the point is equidistant from the charges q and -q, leading to a superposition of electric fields that enhances the magnitude at this point compared to the others.
