![**Electric Fields and Forces in Circular Configurations**
Three point charges are located on a circular arc as shown in the figure below. (Take \( r = 3.92 \) cm. Let to the right be the \( +x \) direction and up along the screen be the \( +y \) direction.)
- A +3.00 nC charge is positioned at the top of the arc.
- A -2.00 nC charge is positioned at the left end of the arc.
- A +3.00 nC charge is positioned at the bottom of the arc.
- The angle between each of the +3.00 nC charges and the -2.00 nC charge is 30.0° at point \( P \).
### Diagram
At the center, point \( P \) is the point where the total electric field and force calculations are focused.

### (a) Calculation of Total Electric Field at \( P \)
**Question:** What is the total electric field at \( P \), the center of the arc?
\[
\vec{E} = \quad \boxed{} \hat{i}\, \text{N/C} + \boxed{} \hat{j}\, \text{N/C}
\]
### (b) Electric Force on a Placed Charge
**Question:** Find the electric force that would be exerted on a -4.55 nC point charge placed at \( P \).
\[
\vec{F} = \quad \boxed{} \hat{i}\, \text{N} + \boxed{} \hat{j}\, \text{N}
\]
