Problem
Two point charges of equal magnitude, +q and −q, are fixed 0.20m apart in vacuum. Which statement correctly describes the direction of the electric force on each charge?
(a) No net force acts on either charge because the forces cancel each other.
(b) Each charge experiences a force directed away from the other charge.
(c) Each charge experiences a force directed toward the other charge.
(d) Both charges experience forces directed toward the positive charge.
