Question

2.2. State the symmetry of this combined system. What coordinate system do you use, based on this symmetry?What directions can we move the charge distribution while still preserving the orientation/locations

of the source charges? Based on this, what direction is the electric field, and what is the only coordinate which this electric field can be a function of? (That is, what is the only direction that we need to move to consider evaluating the strength of the electric field). Update your diagram, or draw a new diagram, showing the direction of the electric field,given the symmetry considerations.
