Question
A-3.5 µC point charge is located at the origin, a second +2.0 µC point charge is located at
x = 0 m, y = +0.25 m, and a third +1.5 µC point charge is located at x = +0.15 m, y = 0 m.
Find the magnitude and direction (relative to the given coordinate system) of the net electric
force acting on the +1.5 µC point charge. Include a diagram of the situation indicating the
force vectors acting on the +1.5 µC charge and any relevant geometry used for the
calculation.
