To calculate the magnitude and direction of the electric field at the origin, we need to find the electric field vector due to each charge at the origin and then add them vectorially. Step 1: Define the charges and their positions. Charge q_1 = 4.00 nc = 4.00 × 10^-9 C is at P_1 = (0.600 m, 0.800 m). Charge q_2 = +6.00 nc = 6.00 × 10^-9 C is at $P_2 = (0.600
