Explanation / Answer

A) electric field at A = 2 * 8.98 * 109 * 5.5 * 10-6 * sin26.56/0.12522

                                 = 2.817 * 106 N/C

B) direction = 90 degree

C) X direction electric field = 8.98 * 109 * 5.5 * 10-6 * (cos45/0.0792 - cos18.43/0.1772)

                                          = 4.1 * 106 N/C

     Y direction electric field = 8.98 * 109 * 5.5 * 10-6 * (sin45/0.0792 + sin18.43/0.1772)

                                          = 6.094 * 106 N/C

=> Net electric field =    7.34 * 106 N/C

D) Direction = tan-1(6.094/4.1)

                      = 56.06 degree
