The middle charge q2= +20e while the other two have charge q1=q3= -5e. Charge 1

Question

The middle charge q2= +20e while the other two have charge q1=q3= -5e. Charge 1 is at position x= -6 micrometers, charge 2 is at the origin, and charge 3 is at position x= 8 micrometers. In addition, a fourth charge q4= -9e is located 2 micrometers below charge 3.

a) what is the electric field E1 at the location of charge 3 due to charge 1?
b) what is the electric field E2 at the location of charge 3 due to charge 2?
c) what is the electric field E4 at the location of charge 3 due to charge 4?
d) what is the net electric field at the location of charge 3?
e) Assuming electric forces are the only forces acting, what is the net force on charge 3?
