we’re looking at. 2) Charge q2 is now displaced a distance y2 = 2.7 cm in the positive y-direction. What is the new value for the xcomponent of the force that q1 exerts on q2? -16.45 N Same idea as 1 but with a different r. We use the Pythagorean theorem to find the new distance which is 9.684 cm. Using the force equation again we get F=-16.45 3) A third point charge q3 is now positioned halfway between q1 and q2. The net force on q2 now has a magnitude of F2‚net = 5.71 N and points away
