Each sketch below shows three objects with an electric charge. In each case, decide whether there is a net force acting on the object outlined in green. If there is a net force, decide whether it pushes the green-ring object to the left or right. Then select the appropriate button under the sketch. For example, if there is a net force pushing the green-ring object the first sketch to the left, select the left button under the first sketch. If there is no net force on the green-ring object in the second sketch, select the middle button under the second sketch. And so on. +2 +1 -1 S

Question
**Title: Understanding Net Force on Charges**

**Description:**
Each sketch displayed below shows three objects that possess an electric charge. In each case, you need to determine whether there is a net force acting on the object outlined in green. If there is a net force, decide whether it pushes the green-ring object to the left or right. After making your determination, select the appropriate button under each sketch.

For instance, if you determine that there is a net force pushing the green-ring object to the left in the first sketch, you should select the left button under the first sketch. If there is no net force on the green-ring object in the second sketch, select the middle button under the second sketch. Continue this process for each sketch.

**Graphical Explanation:**

1. **First Sketch Explanation:**
   - The objects are labeled with the following charges:
     - Left Object: -1
     - Middle (Green Outline) Object: +2
     - Right Object: -2
   - **Force Direction:** 
     - The positive charge (+2) in the middle is being attracted to both negative charges.
     - The force to left:
       - Attraction to the left charge (-1).
     - The force to right:
       - Attraction to the right charge (-2).
     - Since the right negative charge (-2) is stronger than the left negative charge (-1), the net force on the green-ring object is to the right.

2. **Second Sketch Explanation:**
   - The objects are labeled with the following charges:
     - Left Object: +1
     - Middle (Green Outline) Object: +1
     - Right Object: -1
   - **Force Direction:**
     - The positive charge (+1) in the middle is being repelled by the left positive charge (+1).
     - The positive charge in the middle is attracted to the right negative charge (-1).
     - Since both attractive and repelling forces are present, you should determine the stronger force.
     - The net force's direction in this sketch needs a specific explanation since no specific values for strength are given for each charge force in this context.

3. **Third Sketch Explanation:**
   - The objects are labeled with the following charges:
     - Left Object: +1
     - Middle (Green Outline) Object: -2
     - Right Object: -2
   - **Force Direction:**
     - The negative charge
