Question: Point charge 3.5 C is located at x = 0, y = 0.30 m, point charge -3.5 C is located at x = 0 y

Point charge 3.5 μC is located at x = 0, y = 0.30 m, point charge -3.5 μC is located at x = 0 y = -0.30 m. What are (a)the magnitude and (b)direction of the total electric force that these charges exert on a third point charge Q = 5.0 μC at x = 0.40 m, y = 0?
