7. Three charged particles are sitting in a straight line. The left-hand particle has a charge of-5.0 µC and is 8.0 cm from the middle particle, which has a charge of +3 µC. The right-handparticle is 4.0 cm from the middle-particle and has a charge of +1 µC. (a) Determine the force on the middle particle due to the left-hand particle (both magnitude and direction).[1 mark] (b) Determine the force on the middle particle due to the right-hand particle (both magntude and direction).[1 mark] Thus determine the net force on the middle particle due to both of the other particles(both magnitude and direction).[1 mark]
