Problem
Two identical positive point charges +q are fixed at A(0,0) and B(d,0) on the X-axis. A third charge −q is kept at C(0,d) on the Y-axis. Neglect all other forces. What is the direction of the net electrostatic force acting on the charge at C?
(a) Along the positive X-axis
(b) Towards south-east (fourth quadrant)
(c) Along the negative Y-axis
(d) Towards north-east (first quadrant)
