Three charged marbles are glued to a nonconducting surface and are placed in the diagram as shown. The charges of each marble are q1 = 5.65 µC, q2 = 1.91 µC, and q3 = −2.11 µC. Marble q1 is a distance r1 = 3.00 cm to the left of the marble q2, while marble q3 is a distance r3 = 2.00 cm to the right of the marble q2, as shown.
a. Calculate the magnitude of the electric field a distance r' = 1.00 cm to the left of the center marble.
b. Another marble is placed 1 cm to the left of the middle marble. If this new marble has a charge of 3.86 µC,
calculate magnitude and direction of the force on it.
