A Positive Charge Moving Along the X-Axis Passes a Negative

question 27

Short Answer

A positive charge moving along the x-axis passes a negative charge of equal magnitude moving at the same speed but in the opposite direction.The negative charge is only slightly displaced from the x-axis.A point charge is stationary near,but not on,the x-axis,and has the same x-coordinate as the moving charges at the point where they will be closest to each other.Will the point charge experience an electric field that is greater than or less than the field that would result if there were only one moving charge?
