Problem
A vector map displays the electric field created by a +5μC charge and a −5μC charge separated by 6cm. Along the line joining the two charges, the arrows near the midpoint are noticeably longer than those close to either charge. Explain, in one or two sentences, why the field magnitude is greatest near the midpoint.
