Problem

Two point charges +2 μC+2\,\mu\text{C} are placed at the origin and −1 μC-1\,\mu\text{C} at the point (4 cm,0,0)(4\,\text{cm},0,0). Explain whether the force on the positive charge is directed toward the negative charge or away from it. Also state how the force on the negative charge compares in magnitude and direction with that on the positive charge.
