Question: Two charges, + 6 C and + 1 5 C , are fixed 1 m apart, with the second one to the right. Find the

Two charges, +6C and +15C, are fixed 1 m apart, with the second one to the right. Find the magnitude and direction of the net force (in N) on a 7 nC charge when placed at the following locations.
(a)
halfway between the two
magnitude
0.00227
Correct: Your answer is correct.
N
direction
to the right
Correct: Your answer is correct.
(b)
half a meter to the left of the +6C charge
magnitude
0.00193
Correct: Your answer is correct.
N
direction
to the right
Correct: Your answer is correct.
(c)
half a meter above the +15C charge in a direction perpendicular to the line joining the two fixed charges (Assume this line is the x-axis with the +x-direction toward the right. Indicate the direction of the force in degrees counterclockwise from the +x-axis.)
magnitude
0.00392
Correct: Your answer is correct.
N
direction
84.4
Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect.
counterclockwise from the +x-axis
