Consider two point charges located on the x axis: one charge, q_1= -19.0 nC, is located at x_1 = -1.675 m ; the second charge, q_2 = 37.5nC , is at the origin (x = 0).   What is (F_(net3))_x, the x-component of the net force exerted by these two charges on a third charge q_3 = 47.5nC placed between q1 and q2 at x_3 = -1.210 m ?

Question

Consider two point charges located on the x axis: one charge, q_1= -19.0 nC, is located at x_1 = -1.675 m ; the second charge, q_2 = 37.5nC , is at the origin (x = 0).

 

What is (F_(net3))_x, the x-component of the net force exerted by these two charges on a third charge q_3 = 47.5nC placed between q1 and q2 at x_3 = -1.210 m ?
