This is a physic II question. Consider two point charges located on the x axis: one charge, q1 = -18.5 nC , is located at x1 = -1.705 m ; the second charge, q2= 36.5 nCnC , is at the origin (x=0.0000). What is the net force exerted by these two charges on a third charge q3 = 51.5 nC placed between q1 and q2 at x3x3x_3 = -1.240 mm ?
