Electric Field of a Point Charge
 

Electric Field of a Point Charge problem 20


A positive point charge is positioned at a fixed point X and an identical positive point charge is positioned at a fixed point Y, as shown in the figure below.




The charges are separated in a vacuum by a distance of . Points A and B are on the line XY. Point A is a distance of from X and point B is a distance of from Y. The electric field strength at point A is . Calculate charge .
