16. Two point charges qA = +10.0 µC and qB = -40.0 µC and a third particle with unknown charge qC are located on the x axis. The particle qA is at the origin, and qB is at x = 12.0 cm. The third particle is to be placed so that each particle is in equilibrium under the action of the electric forces exerted by the other two particles. a) The diagrams below show a positively charged qC in each of the three possible locations with respect to qA and qB. Draw and label vectors (for example, -->F AB) showing the directions of the forces on all three particles, and circle any of the diagrams in which there are opposing forces on all three charges.
