a. By calculating the average distance and average location of the charge, then the field from the average charge.
b. By calculating the field from each charge and averaging their magnitude.
c. By calculating the field from each charge and averaging the vectors giving each field.
d. Calculate the field from each charge separately then add their magnitudes.
e. Calculate the field from each charge separately then add these contributions as vectors.
