Is it possible to find (algebraically) the sign and magnitude of 2 unknown charges, if given enough information? Specifically, I’m given E at some point in space, and- fwiw, it’s not directly above them, Ex is not 0, making this hard(er). I’m given E, and I’m given the distance from the 2 charges. I don’t know if they are a dipole, I don’t know anything about them. All I know is their distance from a point and the total field at that point.

My gut says yes but I’ve been working on this for 2 hours and I, for the life of me, can’t figure it out. Because, the cosins and sins of the 2 charges w/ respect to the point are not the same, so you can’t factor anything nicely, and at the end of the day I have only one equation for 2 uknowns.....I’m stuck.

Please help.
