In the diagram below, A, B, and C are conducting spheres that are fixed in place and can be considered to be
point charges.
The spheres are fixed in place and each have a mass of 3.0 grams.
Sphere A has a charge of +12µC, Sphere B has a charge of –9.0µC, and Sphere C has a charge of –6.0µC.
Spheres A and B are separated by a distance of 0.020 m and Spheres B and C are separated by a distance of
0.010 m.
