Plastic beads can often carry a small charge and therefore can generate electric fields. Three beads are oriented such that q2 is between q1 and q3. The sum of the charge on q1 and q2 is q1 + q2 = −2.6 μC, and the net charge of the system of all three beads is zero. What charge does each bead carry? q1 = μC q2 = μC q3 = μC

Plastic beads can often carry a small charge and therefore can generate electric fields. Three beads are oriented such that q 2 is between q 1 and q 3 . The sum of the charge on q 1 and q 2 is q 1 + q 2 = 2.6 μ C , and the net charge of the system of all three beads is zero.
What charge does each bead carry?
q 1 = μ C q 2 = μ C q 3 = μ C
