In summary, the force vector F on the 1 nC charge at the bottom is the result of the electric field created by the 4 nC charge at the top. The direction of the force is towards the bottom charge, with a magnitude of 36 x 10^-6 N. This force is calculated using Coulomb's Law, which states that the force between two charges is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

Consider the four charges in the figure below, in which d = 2 cm, q = 4 nC, the +x-axis points to the right, and the +y-axis points up.
