A charge 5.02nC is placed at the origin of an xy− coordinate system, and a charge −2.01nC is placed on the positive x-axis at x=4.05 cm. A third particle, of charge 6.02nC is now placed at the point x=4.05 cm,y=2.97 cm. A) Find the x-component of the total force exerted on the third charge by the other two. B) Find the y-component of the total force exerted on the third charge by the other two. C) Find the magnitude of the total force acting on the third charge. D) Find the direction of the total force acting on the third charge 3. A uniform line of charge with length 20.0 cm is along the x-axis, with its midpoint at x=0. Its charge per length is +6.30nC/m. A small sphere with charge −2.00μC is located at x=0,y=5.00 cm What is the magnitude of the force that the charged sphere exerts on the line of charge? What is the direction angle of the force that the charged sphere exerts on the line of charge? The angle is measured from the +x-axis toward the +y axis. Express your answer in degrees.
