Two charges, q1 = -10.0 µC and q2 = 47.5 µC, are located on the x-axis. Charge q1 is at the origin, and q2 is at x = 10.0 cm. Where must a positive charge q be placed (on the x-axis, in cm) so that the net force on q is zero? ______ cm
Three point charges are arranged on a line. Charge q3 = +3.00 μC and is located at the origin. Charge q2 = +2.00 μC and is located at x = +7.00 cm. Charge q1 is at x = +2.00 cm. If the net force on q3 is zero, what is q1? (k = 9.00 x 10^9 N·m^2/C^2).
