Question

A charge q1 = +3.00 nC is placed at the origin of anxy-coordinate system, and a charge q2= -1.00 nC is placed on the positivex-axis at x = 4.00 cm. (a) If a third charge q3 =+6.00 nC is now placed at the pointx = 4.00 cm, y = 3.00 cm, find the x-and y-components of the total force exerted on this chargeby the other two.
1 N (x-component)
2 N (y-component)

(b) Find the magnitude and direction of this force.
3 N
4° (counterclockwise from thex-axis)
