An electric dipole consists of a pair of point charges each of magnitude 4 nC separated by a distance of 6 cm. What is the electric field strength at the point midway between the charges?
I'm not sure what formula to use. I used: E = 1/2pi*e_o * p/z^3, with p = qd = 2.4e-10, and got some weird answer that wasn't any of the below choices.
Help please.
edit: would it be 0 because they cancel?
