please answer all parts of the question, if it says to explain, use words

 

Two positive point charges +Q are fixed in place a distance b from a negative point charge qo, as shown. A student writes the following expression for the magnitude of the net electric force on qo: |EF| = 2kQqo b² b -90-$300 30° 30° b +Q +Q Is this expression correct? If it is, explain why it is a valid expression. If it is not, explain any errors and how to correct them, then write a correct expression for the net force.

b) Say that you replaced the +Q charge on the top with a negative charge of equal magnitude (-Q). How would the net force on qo now compare to the net force from before? You can answer without explicitly calculating this new force, but make sure you discuss both the direction and magnitude of the force. Explain your reasoning.
