1. The magnitude and direction of the electric force on B, caused by A: 1.7954 x 10^-6 N, left

2. The magnitude and direction of the electric force on B, caused by C: 3.9844 x 10^-6 N, up

3. The magnitude of the net electric force on B: 2.1890 x 10^-6 N

4. The direction of the net electric force on B: Right

Electric Force on B due to A

The magnitude of the electric force on B due to A is 1.7954 x 10^-6 N. The direction of the electric force on B due to A is to the left, since pith ball A is positively charged and pith ball B is negatively charged.

Electric Force on B due to C

The magnitude of the electric force on B due to C is 3.9844 x 10^-6 N. The direction of the electric force on B due to C is upwards, since pith ball C is negatively charged and pith ball B is negatively charged

Net Electric Force on B

The magnitude of the net electric force on B is 2.1890 x 10^-6 N.

The direction of the net electric force on B?

The direction of the net electric force on B is to the right.
