Part A 

Rank the six combinations of electric charges on the basis of the electric force acting on q1. Define forces pointing to the right as positive and forces pointing to the left as negative. 

Rank in increasing order by placing the most negative on the left and the most positive on the right. To rank items as equivalent, overlap them.
