A from particle A. The net force on particle A due to particles B and C is 2.014 x 10-23 N in the negative direction of the x axis. In Fig. 21- 29b, particle B has been moved to the opposite side of A but is still at the same distance from it. The net force on A is now 2.877 x 10-24 N in the negative direction of the x axis.

- Figure 21-18 shows four situations in which particles of charge +q or -q are fixed in place. In each situation, the particles on the x axis are equidistant from the y axis. First, consider the middle particle in situation 1; the middle particle experiences an electrostatic force from each of the other two particles. (a) Are the magnitudes F of those forces the same or different? (b) Is the magnitude of the net force on the middle particle equal to, greater than, or less than 2F? (c) Do the x components of the two forces add or cancel? (d) Do their y components add or cancel? (e) Is the direction of the net force on the middle particle that of the canceling components or the adding components? (f) What is the direction of that net force? Now consider the remaining situations: What is the direction of the net force on the middle particle in (g) situation 2, (h) situation 3, and (i) situation 4?
