Problem

A charge q1=+10 μCq_1=+10\,\mu\text{C} is fixed at the origin. Another charge q2=−5 μCq_2=-5\,\mu\text{C} is placed at (0.06 m, 0.08 m)(0.06\,\text{m},\,0.08\,\text{m}). Find the xx-component of the force acting on q2q_2. (a) +45 N+45\,\text{N} (b) −36 N-36\,\text{N} (c) −27 N-27\,\text{N} (d) +27 N+27\,\text{N}
