The question is as seen on the attachment.


Homework Equations


E = (k)(q)/r^2


The Attempt at a Solution


I know that for this question I am supposed to use the equation "E = (k)(q)/r^2" but the question has me kinda confused. Could someone please tell me what my first step should be in finding the charge on q2?
