He we want to calculate the size of the net electric force on the rightmost proton. Assume that the baseline nearest neighbor force on the rightmost proton is 98 N, rightward, from the proton immediately to its left. I need to find the size and direction of the net electric force on the rightmost proton The diagram contains six electrons and protons it looks like this: - - + - + +

Tthe force between two charges is proportional to the inverse square of their separation.
Are your charges equally spaced ? If so you should be able to figure it out fairly easily.
