Three charges are placed at x = 2, x = 6, and x = 17. (All distances are in meters.) The charge located at x = 2 has a charge of −3.2 nC, the charge at x = 6 has a charge of +1.9 nC and the x = 17 has a charge of +4.5 nC.  (a)What is the electric field at x = 10 due to these three charges? (Be sure to specify both the magnitude and direction.)  (b)If I place an electron at x = 10, what is the force on the electron?
