I have attached the image showing the 6 combination of charges
Answer:
Smallest are: q1 = +1 nc, q2 = +1 nc, q3 = +1 nc and q1 = -1 nc, q2 = -1 nc, q3 = -1nc
Third Largest: q1 = +1 nc, q2 = +1nc, q3 = -1 nc
Second Largest: q1 = +1 nc, q2 = -1 nc, q3 = +1 nc
Largest are: q1 = +1 nc, q2 = -1 nc, q3 = -1 nc and q1 = -1 nc, q2 = +1 nc, q3 = +1 nc
Explanation:
The electrostatic force between 2 charges is; F = k•q1•q2/r²
Where r is the distance between the 2 charges q1 and q2 and k is coulombs constant.
Thus;
F ∝ q1•q2/r²
The net force on the charge q1 is the sum of the forces on charge q2 and q3.
If the two charges are opposite, the force is an attractive force while if the two charges are similar, the force is a repulsive force.
Thus, if the combination has same type of charges, i.e;(+1,+1,+1) or (-1,-1,-1), the force will be very small.
So, now the order of forces from smallest to largest is;
Smallest are: q1 = +1 nc, q2 = +1 nc, q3 = +1 nc and q1 = -1 nc, q2 = -1 nc, q3 = -1nc
Third Largest: q1 = +1 nc, q2 = +1nc, q3 = -1 nc
Second Largest: q1 = +1 nc, q2 = -1 nc, q3 = +1 nc
Largest are: q1 = +1 nc, q2 = -1 nc, q3 = -1 nc and q1 = -1 nc, q2 = +1 nc, q3 = +1 nc
The force on charge Y is the same as the force on charge X
Explanation:
We can answer this problem by applying Newton's third law of motion, which states that:
"When an object A exerts a force on object B (action force), then object B exerts an equal and opposite force on object A (reaction force)"
In this problem, we can identify object A as charge X and object B as charge Y. The magnitude of the electrostatic force between them is given by
(1)
where:
is the Coulomb's constant
are the two charges
r is the separation between the two charges
According to Newton's third law, therefore, the magnitude of the force exerted by charge X on charge Y is the same as the force exerted by charge Y on charge X (and it is given by eq.(1)), however their directions are opposite.

I would have to see the graph.. but by looking at one one online, they are between points D and E.
