Answer:

The electric field at a point midway between the two charges, E = -1.8 * 10⁴ N/C

Explanation:

Let the midpoint of the two charges be considered as the origin, and charge A = 30.0 * 10⁻⁹ C be moving in the +x- axis and the charge B = 60.0 * 10⁻⁹ C be moving in the -x-axis.

Electric field, E = kQ/r² where k is a constant = 9.0 * 10⁹  N.m²/C², Q = quantity of charge, r = distance of separation

In the given question,r = 30.0 cm = 0.03 m; the midway point between A and B = 0.03/2 = 0.015 m

Electric field due to charge A

Ea = +(9.0 * 10⁹  N.m²/C² * 30.0 * 10⁻⁹ ) / ( 0.015 m)²

Ea =  +1.8 * 10⁴ N/C

Electric field due to charge B

Eb = -(9.0 * 10⁹  N.m²/C² * 60.0 * 10⁻⁹ ) / ( 0.015 m)²

Eb =  -3.6 * 10⁴ N/C

The resultant electric field E = Ea + Eb

E = (+1.8 * 10⁴  +  -3.6 * 10⁴) N/C

E = -1.8 * 10⁴ N/C

Therefore, the electric field at a point midway between the two charges, E = -1.8 * 10⁴ N/C
