Coulomb's Law (Electric Forces):

A particle has charge q (-5.00 nC) [illustrate first the problem - draw the free-body diagram] (a) Find the magnitude and direction (the other must be expressed in unit vector form) of the electric force due to this particle at a point 250 cm directly above it. (b) Find the magnitude and direction of the electric force due to this particle at a point 500 cm directly below it. (c) Find the magnitude and direction of the electric field due to this particle at a point 500 cm at the right of it. (d) Find the magnitude and direction of the electric force due to this particle at a point (-200 cm, 150 cm)

Note: please refer to the point as point charge with a Q that has 2.50 nC.
