Three point charges are placed in the xy‑plane. Charge \(Q_{1}=+8\,\mu\text{C}\) is at the origin \((0,0)\), charge \(Q_{2}=-12\,\mu\text{C}\) is at \((0,4\,\text{cm})\) and an unknown charge \(q\) is at \((3\,\text{cm},0)\). Determine the value of \(q\) (in \(\mu\text{C}\)) such that the net electric field at the point \(P(1\,\text{cm},1\,\text{cm})\) is directed exactly along the positive x‑axis (i.e. its y‑component is zero).
