Consider two point charges located on the x-axis: one charge, q1 = -15.0 nC, is located at x1 = -1.725 m; the second charge, q2 = 38.0 nC, is at the origin (x = 0.0000). What is the net force exerted by these two charges on a third charge q3 = 46.0 nC placed between q1 and q2 at x3 = -1.075 m? Your answer may be positive or negative, depending on the direction of the force.

Consider two point charges located on the x-axis: one charge, q1 = -10.5 nC, is located at x1 = -1.715 mm; the second charge, q2 = 34.5 nC, is at the origin (x = 0). What is the x-component of the net force (Fnetx) exerted by these two charges on a third charge q3 = 50.0 nC placed between q1 and q2 at x3 = -1.130 mm?

Two point charges are placed on the x-axis as follows: Charge q1 = +3.95 nC is located at x = 0.190 m and charge q2 = -5.50 nC is at x = +0.400 mm. What is the magnitude of the net force exerted by these two charges on a third point charge q3 = -0.610 nC placed at the origin? What is the direction of the net force exerted by these two charges on a negative point charge q3 = -0.610 nC placed at the origin?

Two point charges are placed on the $x$ -axis as follows: Charge $q_{1}=+4.00 \mathrm{nC}$ is located at $x=0.200 \mathrm{m},$ and charge $q_{2}=+5.00 \mathrm{nC}$ is at $x=-0.300 \mathrm{m}$ . What are the magnitnde and direction of the total force exerted by these two charges on a negative point charge $q_{3}=-6.00 \mathrm{nC}$ that is placed at the origin?
