A number of electric charges has been placed at distinct points along a line with separations as indicated. Two charges share a common magnitude, q (lower case), and another charge has magnitude Q(upper case). The signs of the charges are indicated explicitly such that
∣∣+q∣∣∣∣+Q∣∣=∣∣−q∣∣==∣∣−Q∣∣=qQ
Four different configurations of charges are shown. For each, express the net electric force on the charge with magnitude Q (upper case) as
F⃗E=FE,xî
where the positive x direction is towards the right. By repositioning the figures to the area on the right, rank the configurations from the most negative value to the most positive value of FE,x.
For each part make sure to include sign to represent direction, with up being positive and down being negative.
