As discussed in Example 1 of Section 15.1, Coulomb's law states that the electrostatic force F(r) that a particle of charge Q exerts on a particle of charge q is given by the formula
(a) Express the vector field F(r) in coordinate form
(b) Find the work performed by the force field F on a charge q that moves along a straight line from
