you forgot to mention the coordinates.

Bilbo · Answer

Hmm, not sure. Particle 1 carrying -4.0 μC of charge is fixed at the origin of an xy coordinate system, particle 2 carrying +8.0 μC of charge is located on the x axis at x = 3.0 m , and particle 3, identical to particle 2, is located on the x axis at x = -3.0 m .

Frankly, understanding what is meant, it's hard to conceive of an answer that doesn't mean anything. Talking of kinetic energy, it doesn't make sense.
