Electric field at point C
(`E_(A), E_(B)` are magnitude only and arrows represent directions)

Electric field due to positive charge is away from it while due
to negative charge it is towards the charge. It is clear that `E_(B) gt E_(A)`.
`:. E_("Net") = (E_(B) - E_(A))` towards negative X-axis
`= (K(2muc))/((sqrt(2))^(2)) - (K(2 muc))/((3sqrt(2))^(2))` towards negative X-axis
`= 8000 (-hat(i)) N//C`
Electric field at point D :

Since magnitude of charges are same and also AD = BD
So `E_(A) = E_(B)`
Vertical component of `vec(E)_(A)` and `vec(E)_(B)` cancel each other while horizontal components are in the same direction.
So, `E_("net") = 2E_(A) cos theta = (2.K(2muc))/(2^(2))cos 45^(@)`
`= (K xx 10^(-6))/(sqrt(2)) = (9000)/(sqrt(2)) hat(i) N//C`.
