There are two point charges q1=(7.000x10^0) µC and q2=(-3.0000x10^0) µC. q1 is located at origin (0, 0). q2 is located at (4.00x10^0) m,(5.000x10^0) m). Now we place another point charge q3 = (1.0000x10^1) µC at ((4.00x10^0) m, 0), i.e. q3 is right underneath of q2. Please calculated the X-component of the electrostatic force on q3 . Give your answer in the unit of N with 3 sf. Note: Use the sign to represent the direction, for example -2.11x10^-4 means the force is on the negative x direction.

Two spherical, hollow conductors are concentrically nested as shown in the cross-sectional diagram below and electrically isolated from each other. A net charge of -3 nC is divided between the conductors, with a total of -12 nC on the inner conductor and +9 nC on the outer one. The charges are, of course, free to move between the surfaces within each shell but cannot move from one shell to the other. The inner conductor has an inner radius of a=2 cm, outer radius of b=3 cm.
