Two charges, +8 μC and +10 μC, are placed along the x-axis. The first charge is at the origin (x = 0), and the second charge is at x = +1 m. Find the magnitude and direction of the net force on a -3 nC charge when placed at the following locations:
### a. Halfway Between the Two Charges
- **Magnitude of force:** 0.216 mN
- **Direction:** in the +x direction
### b. On the x-axis at x = -0.5 m
- **Magnitude of force:** 0.984 mN
- **Direction:** in the +x direction
### c. At the Coordinate (x, y) = (1 m, 0.5 m)
Half a meter above the +10 μC charge, in a direction perpendicular to the line joining the two fixed charges:
- **Magnitude of force:** 1.956 mN
- **Direction:** 83.66 degrees below the -x axis
