4) We are asked to calculate the force on an electric charge due to other electric charges. To do this we follow the following steps: > determine the vector distance to the charge of interest, > determine the vector force between the two charges using Coulomb's Law, > check the direction of the force using the fact that opposite attract and like repel, > sum all the i and j components separately, > find the magnitude and direction of the net force.
