- Three charges are arranged in a straight line. The first charge has a charge of -6.0 µC, the middle charge has a charge of -8.0 μC and is 45 cm from the first charge, and the third charge has a charge of 14.0 µC and is 25 cm from the middle charge (opposite side from the first charge). First, draw a picture of the charges (similar to figure 16-19) with an x-axis. Calculate the net force acting on the first charge (-6 µC) due to the other two charges. Remember to give the direction relative to your x-axis.
