Two stationary point charges +q+q are located on the yy-axis as shown above. A third charge +q+q is brought in from infinity along the x -axis. a. Express the potential energy of the movable charge as a function of its position on the x -axis. b. Determine the magnitude and direction of the force acting on the movable charge when it is located at the position x=l\mathrm{x}=l c. Determine the work done by the electric field as the charge moves from infinity to the origin.
