Question: Two charges + 5 C and + 9 C are placed along the x axis, with the first charge at the origin ( x =

Two charges +5 C and +9 C are placed along the x axis, with the first charge at the origin (x=0) and the second charge at x=+1m. Find the magnitude and direction of the net force on a -10 nC charge when placed at the following locations below.
Overall Hint
halfway between the two charges: magnitude of force is mN, and the direction is Select an answerin +x directionnot in any direction.in -x direction.
on the x axis at x=-0.5m: magnitude of force is mN, and the direction is Select an answerin +x directionin -x directionnot in any direction..
at the coordinate (x,y)=(1m,0.5m)(half a meter above the +9 C charge in a direction perpendicular to the line joining the two fixed charges):
Hint for (c)
Magnitude of force is mN, and the direction is degrees below -x axis.
