49. Two charges +3 C and +12 C are fixed 1 m 

49. Two charges +3 C and +12 C are fixed 1 m apart, with the second one to the right. Find the magnitude and direction of the net force on a -2-nC charge when placed at the following locations: (a) halfway between the two (b) half a meter to the left of the +3 C charge (c) half a meter above the +12 C charge in a direction perpendicular to the line joining the two fixed charges
