A 500nC point charge, an infinite line charge of ρL = 50 nC/m and an infinite surface
charge of ρS = 2 nC/m2 are located at (2, 3, 5) , (4, 0, 3) and (0, 0, -4) respectively, (a) find
the electric field intensity at the origin. (b) if a 20nC point charge is placed at the origin,
what is the magnitude of the force exerted on this charge?
