Answer

(2\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} + \hat{k})$

Step 1: Analyze Question 1. The electrostatic force $\vec{F}$ on charge $q_2$ at $\vec{r_2}$ due to charge $q_1$ at $\vec{r_1}$ is given by Coulomb's Law: $\vec{F} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0} \frac{q_1 q_2}{|\vec{r_2} - \vec{r_1}|^3} (\vec{r_2} - \vec{r_1})$ Given:

Position of $q_1$ : $\vec{r_1} = (2\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} + \hat{k})$

Step 1: Analyze Question 1. The electrostatic force F on charge q_2 at r_2 due to charge q_1 at r_1 is given by Coulomb's Law: F = (1)/(4_0) (q_1 q_2)/(|r_2) - r_1|^3 (r_2 - r_1) Given: Position of q_1: r_1 = (2i + 2j + k)
