FE =

Explanation / Answer

since one chatged particle is at the origion and another in the middle exactly,

both the charge particles are positive so the force exerted on 20 nC will be repulsive

that is exactly in the middle of positive x and y axis

so the direction of teh force will be 45 degree counterclockwisefrom x axis
