Three point charges $q_1, q_2, q_3$ are placed at the vertices of a triangle. If the forces on $q_1$ and $q_2$ are $(2\hat{i} - \hat{j}) \, N$ and $(\hat{i} + 3\hat{j}) \, N$,respectively,then what will be the force on $q_3$?

  • A
    Zero
  • B
    $(-3\hat{i} - 2\hat{j}) \, N$
  • C
    $(\hat{i} - \hat{j}) \, N$
  • D
    Cannot be calculated
