Physics

The figure shows two parallel nonconducting rings with theircentral axes along a common line. Ring 1 has uniform chargeq1 and radius R; ring 2 has uniformcharge q2 and the same radius R. Therings are separated by a distance 3.00R. The ratio of theelectric field magnitudes of Ring 1 and Ring 2 at point Pon the common line is 1.59. What is the ratio of charge magnitudesq1/q2?
