Charge 1 is on the axis at x=0. At x=3cm the electric field strength due to 1 is 4800 N/C/ Charge 2 is on the x axis at x=6cm. The magnitude of charge 2 is two times the magnitude of charge 1, (i.e absolute value of q2 is equal to 2 times absolute value of q1. 

a) what is the magnitude of the electric force between the charges? 

b) Find the magnitude and drection (left or right) of the total electrice field at x=3cm if both charges are negative. 

c) repeat part (b) in the case that 1 is negative and 2 is positive.
