Two point charges, q1 and q2, of 4.00 uc each, are placed -6.0 cm and 6.0 cm away from the origin on the x-axis. A charge q3 of -1.00 uC is placed 8.0 cm away from the origin on the y-axis.

Question

a. Find the distance from q3 to q1 and from q3 to q2.
b, Find the magnitude and the direction of the force F13 exerted by q1 on q3.
c. Find the magnitude and the direction of the force F23 exerted by q2 on q3.
d. Find the magnitude and the direction of the force F12 exerted by q1 on q2.
e. In the space below, sketch the vectors representing forcesF13 and F23. f Find he angle between the q1-q3 line and the x-axis.
