A particle with charge -8 µC is located on the x-axis at the point 8 cm, and a second particle with charge -6 µC is placed on the x-axis at -6 cm.What is the magnitude of the total electrostatic force on a third particle with charge -4 µC placed on the x-axis at -2 cm?Answer in units of NThe Coulomb constant is 9.0× 10^9 N·m2/C2.Fe = (kq1q2/r^2)My attempt:[(9*10^9)(4*10^-6)(8*10^-6)]/(0.1)^2 + [(9*10^9)(4*10^-6)(6*10^-6)]/(0.04)^2The final answer I get is 163.8 N, which is incorrect.Please help me. ):
