(II) Determine the direction and magnitude of the electric field at the point P in Fig. 16鈥56. The charges are separated by a distance 2a, and point P is a distance x from the midpoint between the two charges. Express your answer in terms of Q, x, a, and k.

(II) A person scuffing her feet on a wool rug on a dry day accumulates a net charge of\( - {\bf{28}}\;{\bf{\mu C}}\). How many excess electrons does she get, and by how much does her mass increase?
(I) What is the magnitude of the force a\({\bf{ + 25}}\;{\bf{\mu C}}\)charge exerts on a\({\bf{ + 2}}{\bf{.5}}\;{\bf{mC}}\)charge 16 cm away?
Consider the electric field at the three points indicated by the letters A, B, and C in Fig. 16鈥49. First draw an arrow at each point indicating the direction of the net force that a positive test charge would experience if placed at that point, then list the letters in order of decreasing field strength (strongest first). Explain.

(I) A proton is released in a uniform electric field, and it experiences an electric force of\({\bf{1}}{\bf{.86}} \times {\bf{1}}{{\bf{0}}^{ - {\bf{14}}}}{\bf{ N}}\)toward the south. Find the magnitude and direction of the electric field.
