5.0\times10^{4}\,\text{N/C}

is directed toward the west. Determine the magnitude and direction of the force on a

-3\,\text{nC}

point charge placed in the field. (a)

6.0\times10^{-5}\,\text{N}

toward the east (b)

1.5\times10^{-4}\,\text{N}

toward the west (c)

1.5\times10^{-4}\,\text{N}

toward the east (d)

3.0\times10^{-4}\,\text{N}

toward the east
