A standard Cartesian coordinate system with a horizontal x-axis and a vertical y-axis. Two filled circles representing point charges, each labeled '\(+Q\)', are located on the y-axis. One is at a tick mark labeled '\(d\)' above the origin, and the other is at a tick mark labeled '\(-d\)' below the origin. The origin is marked and labeled '\(O\)'. A point on the positive x-axis is marked with a small dot and labeled '\(P\)', located at a tick mark labeled '\(d\)'. No other charges, lines, or vectors are present.
Figure 1. Charges on a coordinate axis.
Two point charges, each with positive charge \(+Q\), are held fixed on the y-axis at positions \(y = +d\) and \(y = -d\), as shown in Figure 1. A third point charge with positive charge \(+q\) is introduced to the system.
