Question: Two charges, +9 C and +17 C, are fixed 1 m apart, with the second one to the right. Find the magnitude and direction

Two charges, +9 C and +17 C, are fixed 1 m apart,

Two charges, +9 C and +17 C, 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 direction magnitude direction (b) half a meter to the left of the +9 C charge N to the right Reading to the night (c) half a meter above the +17 C 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 direction Additional Materials Submit Answer N N counterclockwise from the +x-axis
