In the figure particle 1 of charge q1 = 1.05 μC and particle 2 of charge q2 = −3.07 μC, are held at separation L = 10.7 cm on an x axis. If particle 3 of unknown charge q3 is to be located such that the net electrostatic force on it from particles 1 and 2 is zero, what must be the (a) x and (b) y coordinates of particle 3?

Three particles are fixed on an x axis. Particle 1 of charge q1 is at x = −a and particle 2 of charge q2 is at x = +a. If their net electrostatic force on particle 3 of charge Q is to be zero, what must be the ratio q1/q2 when particle 3 is at (a) x = +0.381a and (b) x = +1.35a? (a) Number Units (b) Number Units

In part (a) of the figure, particle 1 (of charge q1) and particle 2 (of charge q2) are fixed in place on an x axis, 12.00 cm apart. Particle 3 (of charge q3 = +8.00×10−19 C) is to be placed on the line between particles 1 and 2 so that they produce a net electrostatic force on it. In part (b) of the figure below gives the x component of that force versus the coordinate x at which particle 3 is placed. The scale of the x axis is set by xs = 12.00 cm. What are (a) the sign of charge q1 and (b) the ratio q2/q1? (a) (b)
