question archive Three point charges are arranged along the x axis
Subject:PhysicsPrice: Bought3
Three point charges are arranged along the x axis. Charge q 1 = -4.60 nC is located at x= 0.240 m and charge q 2 = 2.40 nC is at x= -0.300 m . A positive point charge q 3 is located at the origin.
What must the value of q 3 be for the net force on this point charge to have magnitude 3.60 μN ?
What is the direction of the net force on q 3 ?
Where along the x axis can q 3 be placed and the net force on it be zero, other than the trivial answers of x=+∞ and x=−∞?
