Question

A charge 4.97 nC is placed at the origin of an xy-coordinate system, and a charge -2.03 nC is placed on the positive x-axis at x = 4.02 cm . A third particle, of charge 6.02 nC is now placed at the point x = 4.02 cm , y = 3.01 cm .

Part A

Find the x-component of the total force exerted on the third charge by the other two.

Part B

Find the y-component of the total force exerted on the third charge by the other two

Part C

Find the magnitude of the total force acting on the third charge.

Part D

Find the direction of the total force acting on the third charge.

Note: The other answer on Chegg is wrong. I will rate accordingly.
