Three charges are arranged as shown in the figure below. Find the magnitude and direction of the electrostatic force on the charge q = 5.16 nC at the origin. (Let r12 = 0.280 m.) Three-point charges lie along the axes in the x y-coordinate plane. Positive charge q is at the origin. A charge of 6.00 nC is at (r1 2, 0), where r1 2 > 0. A charge of −3.00 nC is at (0, −0.100 m).
