Answer:
sum of the two forces as both point to the right is a force that points to the right,
Explanation:
The force on the cast load at point Y is given by
F = q_y E
force is a vector magnitude so its result is
∑ F = Fₐ + F_b
indicate that the charge at y is negative, we analyze the direction of the force created by each charge
Charge A
as the electric field is incoming the charge is negative and as the test charge is negative both repel each other, consequently the force points to the right
Charge B
in this case the electric field lines are salient, therefore the charge is positive, consequently the force on the charge at y is attractive and points to the right
the sum of the two forces as both point to the right is a force that points to the right, that is, in the direction of the charge located at B
