The point charges $Q$ and $-2Q$ are placed at a distance $r$ apart. If the electric field at the location of $Q$ (point $A$) due to $-2Q$ is $\vec E$,then the electric field at the location of $-2Q$ (point $B$) due to $Q$ will be:

  • A
    $-\frac{\vec E}{2}$
  • B
    $-\frac{3 \vec E}{2}$
  • C
    $+\frac{\vec E}{2}$
  • D
    $-2\,\vec E$
