Suppose object A is electrically charged and is experiencing forces from three other charged objects. How should the total effects of those three objects be combined in order to find the total electric force? ANSWER O O O O O The charges of the three other charged objects are combined into one net charge which is then used to calculate the total electric force on object A. Electric force vectors are calculated for each pair of objects (six forces in total). These six force vectors are then added using vector addition to obtain the total electric force. Electric force vectors are calculated for object A and each of the other three objects. These three force vectors are then added using vector addition to obtain the total electric force. The magnitudes of the electric force are calculated for object A and each of the other three objects. These three magnitudes are then added to obtain the total electric force. I DON'T KNOW YET
