Two point charges $Q$ and $-3 Q$ are placed at some distance apart. If the electric field due to $-3 Q$ at the location of $Q$ is $E \hat{i}$,then the electric field due to $Q$ at the location of $-3 Q$ is:

  • A
    $(-E) \hat{i}$
  • B
    $(E / 3) \hat{i}$
  • C
    $(-3 E) \hat{i}$
  • D
    $(-E / 3) \hat{i}$
