Two point charges, LaTeX: q_1=-250\;\mu\rm Cq 1 = − 250 μ C and LaTeX: q_2=500\;\mu\rm Cq 2 = 500 μ C, lie in the LaTeX: xyx y-plane at the points LaTeX: {\rm r}_1= (0.20\,\hat{\imath}+0.30\,\hat{\jmath}) \;\rm mmr 1 = ( 0.20 ı ^ + 0.30 ȷ ^ ) m m and LaTeX: {\rm r}_2= (0.50\,\hat{\imath}-0.10\,\hat{\jmath}) \;\rm mmr 2 = ( 0.50 ı ^ − 0.10 ȷ ^ ) m m. Determine the direction of the electrostatic force on LaTeX: q_1q 1 from LaTeX: q_2q 2.
