part of the Coulomb expression that conveys the magnitude (we retain the information in the sign of the charge).&nbsp; We can then work out the unit vectors from each charge towards P.&nbsp; For example,&nbsp;the unit vectors pointing from A to P is&nbsp;</p>\n<p>$\\displaystyle {\\vec{BP}\\over \\left|\\vec{BP}\\right|}$</p>\n<p>Equivalently for the case we have here, the field from B can be

In each case the field points radially away from the point-charge so that for $q_1$ it is down and left in equal measures, for $q_2$ it is up and to the left, and so on.&nbsp; For negative charges the sign of $q$ can be thought of reversing the direction (fields converge on negative point charges).&nbsp; Take care in determining the direction and note that diagrams generally help!</p>\n<p>The value of $E$ can be readily obtained and the direction in each case given by</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">$\\displaystyle{1\\over\\sqrt{2}}\\left(\\pm \\hat{i} \\pm
