Three charges are on a line, as shown below. a. What is the magnitude and direction of the force that the 2 q charge exerts on the + q charge? (Don't forget to include k .) b. What is the magnitude and direction of the force that the + 3 q charge exerts on the + q charge? c. Draw the forces acting on charge + q (the middle one) from each of the other two charges. Be sure to start the force vectors on + q and scale the length of the vectors appropriately. d. What is the magnitude and direction of the net force acting on + q ? e. What is the net force (magnitude & direction) acting on the + 3 q charge due to the other two charges?
