Three 1.0 nC charges are placed as shown in the figure. Each ofthese charges creates an electric field E at a point 3.0 cm infront of the middle charge.

1. What are the three fields vec E_1, vec E_2, and vec E_3 createdby the three charges? Write your answer for each as a vector incomponent form

2. Do you think that electric fields obey a principle ofsuperposition? That is, is there a "net field" at this point givenby vec E net = E_1 + E_2 + E_3? Use what you learned in thischapter and previously in our study of forces to argue why this isor is not true
