Electric Charges and Fields

One of the fundamental properties is the electromagnetic property. Charge cannot be destroyed by any process and this contributes formally to the law of charge conservation.

Question

A point charge (-5.0 µC) is placed on the x-axis at x = 4.0 cm, and a second charge (-5.0 μC) is placed
on the x-axis at x = -4.0 cm. What is the magnitude of the electric force on a third charge (+3 µC) placed
on the y-axis at y = 3.0 cm?
