Two point charges are fixed on the y axis: a negative point charge q1 = −29 μC at y1 = +0.19 m and a positive point charge q2 at y2 = +0.31 m. A third point charge q = +9.5 μC is fixed at the origin. The net electrostatic force exerted on the charge q by the other two charges has a magnitude of 23 N and points in the +y direction. Determine the magnitude of q2. Number Units

Two point charges are fixed on the y axis: a negative point charge q 1 = 29 μ C at y 1 = + 0.19 m and a positive point charge q 2 at y 2 = +0.31 m . A third point charge q = + 9.5 μ C is fixed at the origin. The net electrostatic force exerted on the charge q by the other two charges has a magnitude of 23 N and points in the + y direction. Determine the magnitude of q 2 .
