In figure two positive charges q(2) and ...

In figure two positive charges `q_(2)` and `q_(3)` fixed along the y-axis, exert a net electric force in the +x-direction on a charge `q_(1)` fixed along the x-axis. If a positive charge Q is added at (x,0), the force on `q_(1)`.

A

shall increase along the positive x-axis

B

shall decrease along the positive x-axis.

C

shall point along the negative x-axis

D

shall increase but the direction changes because of the intersection of Q with `q_(2)` and `q_(3)`.
