Calculate the net force on a charge of -1 µC situated between two charges, one of +3 µC and the other of -2 µC, which are 15 cm apart.
💡 Hint: Remember to maintain the direction while calculating.
Three charges: +2 µC, +3 µC, and -4 µC lie in a straight line, with distances of 20 cm and 30 cm respectively. Determine the net force experienced by the +2 µC charge.
💡 Hint: Remember the direction of forces based on charge signs.
