Coulomb's law for the magnitude of the force between two particleswith charges and separated by a distance is |F| = K |QQ'|/d^2 whereK = 1/4piEo, Eo = 8.854 x 10^-12 C^2/Nxm^2. is the permittivity offree space.

Consider two point charges located on the x axis: one charge, q1 =-11.5nC , is located at x1 = -1.715 m; the second charge, q2 =34.5nC , is at the origin x = 0.00000.

What is the net force exerted by these two charges on a thirdcharge q3 = 49.5nC placed between q1 and q2 at x3 = -1.240m ?

Your answer may be positive or negative, depending on the directionof the force.
