A particle (charge = +40 mC) is located on the x axis at the point x = -20 cm, and a second particle (charge = -50 mC) is placed on the x axis at x = +30 cm. What is the magnitude of the total electrostatic force on a third particle (charge = -4.0 mC) placed at the origin (x = 0)?
 a. 41 N
  b. 16 N
  c. 56 N
  d. 35 N
  e. 72 N

 a. 1.4 mC
  b. 1.1 mC
  c. 2.0 mC
