Two particles, each carrying charge \(-q\), are fixed at opposite corners of a square, and a third particle, carrying charge \(+q\), is fixed at a third corner (Figure P22.63).

(a) Draw an arrow representing the vector sum of the forces exerted on a particle carrying charge \(+q\) as it is placed first at position \(A\), then at position \(B\), and then at position C.

(b) Sketch the trajectory of this particle if it is released at each of these three positions.
