What is the magnitude of the force on the 1.0 nCnC charge in (Figure 1)? What is the direction of the force on the 1.0 nC charge? This image depicts an equilateral triangle configuration of three point charges. Each side of the triangle measures 1.0 cm in length. The charges are positioned at the vertices of the triangle:1. The top vertex has a charge of +1.0 nC (nanocoulombs).2. The bottom left vertex has a charge of +2.0 nC.3. The bottom right vertex has a charge of -2.0 nC.The angles between the lines connecting the charges are all 60 degrees, indicating that the triangle is equilateral. The charges are illustrated with circles: positive charges are colored in red, and the negative charge is colored in light blue.

Magnitude of electric force due to +2 nC charge on +1 nC charge is given as Magnitude of electric force due to -2 nC charge on +1 nC charge is given as +2nC will repel +1 nC charge and -2nC will attract +1 nC charge. Angle between F1 and F2 is 120o.Magnitude of net force acting on +1 nC charge is given as Direction of force acting on +1nC charge is along horizontal direction as both forces are inclined at same angle with respect to horizontal hence vertical component will cancel out and only horizontal component will left. Direction of force: Along horizontal or 0o from +ve x-axis. Magnitude of force = 18 x 10-5 NDirection of force: Along horizontal or 0o from +ve x-axis.
