Three charged marbles are glued to a nonconducting surface and are placed in the diagram as shown. The charges of each marble are q1 = 6.25 µC, q2 = 1.32 µC, and q3 = −1.99 µC. Marble q1 is a distance r1 = 3.00 cm to the left of the marble q2, while marble q3 is a distance r3 = 2.00 cm to the right of the marble q2, as shown. Calculate the magnitude of the electric field a distance r' = 1.00 cm to the left of the center marble.
Another marble is placed 1 cm to the left of the middle marble. If this new marble has a charge of −3.88 µC, calculate magnitude and direction of the force on it.
