Question

Calculate the magnitude and direction of the Coulomb force on each of the three charges shown in the figure below.

6.00 μC 1.50 μC -2.00 μC 3.00 cm 2.00 cm-

Three charges lie along a horizontal line. A 6.00 µC positive charge is on the left. 3.00 cm to its right is a 1.50 µC positive charge. 2.00 cm to the right of the 1.50 µC charge is a −2.00 µCcharge.
