The sketch below shows three objects with electric charge. (The charge ofeach object is written on it.)Decide whether there is a net electric force acting on the central object. Ifthere is, select the button under the sketch that shows the direction of thisforce. If there is no net force on the central object, select the centerbutton.-2O-2-3
