    Perfect. Thank you all so, so much

    Magnitude of Force of two point charges on a third (electrostatics)

    Ohhh I gotcha, so 5.387E-6 + (-2.995E-6), which = 2.392E-6. So the magnitude is 2.392E-6N?

    Magnitude of Force of two point charges on a third (electrostatics)

    In that case, F(1 on 3) is = 5.387E-6 F(2 on 3) is = -2.995E-6 Magnitude still appears to be 8.37E-6 N like you said. Am I using the wrong equation or something? This doesn't make sense to me

    The magnitude appears to be correct though, right? For some reason it's not

    Magnitude of Force of two point charges on a third (electrostatics)

    F(1 on 3) = -5.387E-6 F(2 on 3) = -2.995E-6 This is a magnitude of 8.37E-6 N, which was incorrect

    Magnitude of Force of two point charges on a third (electrostatics)

    Yeah, it should be positive, my bad. However I've also tried 0.000002 as an answer and that was incorrect:/

    Magnitude of Force of two point charges on a third (electrostatics)

    Two point charges are placed on the x-axis as follows: charge q1 = 4.01nC is located at x= 0.201m , and charge q2 = 5.00nC is at x= -0.301m. What is the magnitude of the total force exerted by these two charges on a negative point charge q3 = -6.03nC that is placed at the origin? I know I...
