A charge, q = -6.90 C is placed 5.98 cm (location r1) from a -12.1 C charge,

A charge, q = -6.90 µC is placed 5.98 cm (location r1) from a -12.1 µC charge, Q. Charge q is moved to a new location (location r2), 23.8 cm away from the -12.1 µC charge, Q. 

a) Sketch the electric field for the charge causing the field and indicate the locations r1 and r2 on your sketch.

b) Determine the electric field at each location, r1 and r2. 

c) Determine the electric force experienced by q at each location, r1 and r2. 

d) If released from rest, will q move from r1 to r2 or from r2 to r1? Will the acceleration q experiences be constant while it moves?
