Two charges, +7 µC and +15 µC, are fixed 1 m apart, with the second one to the right. Find the magnitude and direction of the net force (in N) on a −6 nC charge when placed at the following locations. (a) halfway between the two magnitude(N): direction: (b) half a meter to the left of the +7 µC charge magnitude (N) direction (c) half a meter above the +15 µC charge in a direction perpendicular to the line joining the two fixed charges (Assume this line is the x-axis with the +x-direction toward the right. Indicate the direction of the force in degrees counterclockwise from the +x-axis.) magnitude(N) direction ______° counterclockwise from the +x-axis
