Three point charges are placed on the x-axis. A charge of +2.0 μC is placed at the origin, +2.0 μC to the right at x = 50 cm, and -4.0 μC at the 100 cm mark. What are the magnitude and direction of the electrostatic force which acts on the charge at the origin? 1. 0.14 N to the right 2. 0.072N to the left 3. 0.14 N to the left 4. 0.072 to the right
