Solution

To provide a thorough answer, I would need additional context regarding the setup of the problem, such as the position and charge of any point charges involved or the distribution of charge in the vicinity of point P. However, I can guide you on how to approach calculating the electric field strength, given the necessary information.

1. Break Down the Problem

a. Identify the source of the electric field (point charge, charged sphere, etc.).
b. Determine the distance from the charge(s) to point P.
c. Note the value of the charge(s) involved.

2. Relevant Concepts

For a point charge, the electric field E E at a distance r r from a charge Q Q is given by the formula: E=kQr2 E = \frac{k \cdot |Q|}{r^2} where k k is Coulomb's constant, approximately 8.99×109N m2/C2 8.99 \times 10^9 \, \text{N m}^2/\text{C}^2 .

3. Analysis and Detail

a. Plug the values into the formula setting r r as the distance from the charge to point P and Q Q as the charge in coulombs.
b. Perform the calculation to find E E .

4. Verify and Summarize

Verify your calculation to ensure accuracy, and express the answer to three significant digits as requested.

Final Answer

Unfortunately, without specific values provided in the question, I cannot compute a numerical answer. If you supply the values for charge Q Q and distance r r , I can assist you further by providing a complete calculation.
