Expert Answer:
I assume the question is as given below
" Three charges 1 C, -1 C , and 2 C are kept on X axis at x = -5 cm,
x=0 cm and x=10 cm respectively find net force one each of them "
----------------------------------
Force F between two charges q1 and q2 that are separated by a distance d is given as
where K = 1/(4πεo ) = 9 × 109 N m2 C-2 is Coulombs constant and εo is permittivity of free space.
In this given charge configuration, there are three types of forces .
F1 is attractive force between charges 1 C and -1 C ; 
F2 is attractive force between charges -1 C and 2 C ;
F3 is repulsive force between charges 1 C and 2 C ;
Net force on 1 C charge = F1 - F3 = ( 3.600 -0.800) × 1012 N = 2.800 × 1012 N
Net force on -1 C charge = F1 - F2 = ( 3.600 -1.800) × 1012 N = 1.800 × 1012 N
Net force on 2 C charge = F2 - F3 = ( 1.800 -0.800) × 1012 N = 1.000 × 1012 N

- an infinite line charge produces a field of 9×10^4 N/C at a distance of 2 cm calculate the linear charge
- ln a Millikan’s oil drop experiment, the horizontal plates are 1.5 cm apart. With the electric field switch off an oil drop is observed to fall with a steady velocity of 2.5×10^{-2} cm s^{-1}. When the field is switched on the upper plate being positive, the drop just remains stationary when the p.d. between the plates is 1500 V. Calculate the radius of drop (b) How many electronic charges does it carry? (c)If the p.d. between the two plates remains unchanged, with what velocity will the drop move when it has collected two more as a result of exposure to ionising radiation? (Oil density, rho=900 kgm^{3} , Viscosity of air, eta =1.8×10^{-5} Nsm^{-2}, Density of air, σ=1.293 kg m^{-3})
- A beam of electrons, moving with avelocity of 10^7m/s, enters midway between two horizontal parallel plates in a directions parallel to the plates. Each plate is 5 cm long. These plates are kept 2 cm apart and a potential difference of 90 V is applied between, them. Calculate the velocity of the electron- beam with which it just grazes the edge of the positive plate. (e /m=1.8×10^{11} c/kg)
- An oil drop of mass 3.25*10^(-15) kg falls vertically with uniform velocity , through the air between vertical parallel plates which are 2 m apart. When a p.d. of 1000 V is applied to the plates the drop moves to the positively charged plate , being inclined at 45 degrees to the vertical. Calculate the charge on the drop.
