Two point charges (–2.5 nC and +3.0 nC) are held a certain distance apart. The magnitude of the electric force of the –2.5 nC charge on the +3.0 nC charge is 1.8e-6￼ N. The electric force of the –2.5 nC charge on the +3.0 nC charge is directed to the:
A. left.
B. right.
C. (There is no direction, as the electric force is zero.)
D. (Not enough information is given.)
