Three charges lie along the x-axis. One positive charge, q1 = 15 μC, is at x = 2.0 m, and another positive charge, q2 = 6.0 μC, is at the origin. At what point on the x-axis must a negative charge, q3, be placed so that the resultant force on it is zero?

Three point charges are arranged along the $x$-axis. Charge $q_1 = +3.00 \space \mu$C is at the origin, and charge $q_2 = -5.00 \space \mu$C is at $x =$ 0.200 m. Charge $q_3 = -8.00 \space \mu$C. Where is $q_3$ located if the net force on $q_1$ is 7.00 N in the $-$ $x$-direction ?

Two point charges are placed on the $x$-axis as follows: Charge $q_1 = +$4.00 nC is located at $x =$ 0.200 m, and charge $q_2 = +$5.00 nC is at $x = -$0.300 m . What are the magnitude and direction of the total force exerted by these two charges on a negative point charge $q_3 = -$6.00 nC that is placed at the origin?
