    • A) The minus charge radiates inwardly, pulling the small charge toward the left (↞) at a higher magnitude because it it closer. The plus charge radiates outward pushing the small charge toward right (→) at a lower magnitude because its farther away. Hence, the resultant force will be toward the left
