An unknown positive point charge is placed at x = -0.27 m, y = 0m, a charge of -2.8 micro-coulombs is placed at x = 0 m, y = -0.20m, a charge of +2.2 micro-coulombs is placed at x = +0.50 m, y =-0.29 m, and charge of +2.8 micro-coulombs is placed at x = 0 m, y= +0.20 m. If the total electric field due to all four charges atthe origin is 4.5 x 106 N/C (the x component of the total electricfield is positive), what is value of the magnitude of the unknowncharge in micro-coulombs? If negative, include a negative sign.
