$A$ charge $q_1$ exerts some force on a second charge $q_2$. If a third charge $q_3$ is brought near,the force of $q_1$ exerted on $q_2$:

Two charges each of charge $+10 \mu C$ are kept on $Y$-axis at $y=-a$ and $y=+a$, respectively. Another point charge $-20 \mu C$ is placed at the origin and given a small displacement $x$ $(x \ll a)$ along $X$-axis. The force acting on the point charge is ($x$ and $a$ are in metres, $\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0}=9 \times 10^9 \text{ N m}^2 \text{ C}^{-2}$)
