Expert Solution
Step 1

Given,

Four charges are arranged and each charge is at 8.0 cm from the origin.

The value of charges are :

q1 = +3.0 μCq2 = +3.0 μCq3 = +1.0 μCq4 = -3.0 μCFifth charge = +2.0μC

We know that electrostatic force is attractive between like charges and repulsive between oppossite charges.
