10-40. What is the electric field (magnitude and direction) at point D in Figure 10-20 due to the two charges? Charges q1 and q2 are -1.21 mC and +3.40 mC, respectively.
[Ans. 6.0X1014 N/C at 33° relative to +x axis]

The drawing shows the situation as posed in the problem. The field is wanted at the point D. What test charge do we imagine to be placed there to give the direction and magnitude of the field?
(A)  a positive test charge
(B)  a negative test charge.
