Four point charges, two positive charges on the x-axis and two negative charges on the y-axis, are located at a distance a = 15 cm from the origin on either side of it. The charge of each of them is q = 1 µC or -1 µC Another positive point charge, with charge Q = 133 µC, is located at point P on the positive x-axis a distance b = 0.55 m to the right of the rightmost positive charge. Refer to the figure. Part (a) Enter an expression for the x-component of the force on the point charge, in terms of defined quantities and the Coulomb constant k, at P due to the negative charges. Part (b) Enter an expression for the x-component of the force on the point charge at P due to the nearest positive charge, in terms of defined quantities and the Coulomb constant k. Part (c) Enter an expression for the x-component of the force on the point charge at P due to the farthest positive charge, in terms of defined quantities and the Coulomb constant k. Part (d) Calculate the x-component of the net force, in newtons, acting on the point charge at P.
