Five charged particles are equally spaced around a semicircle of radius 100 mm, with one particle at each end of the semicircle and the remaining three spaced equally between the two ends. The semicircle lies in the region x<0 of an xy plane, such that the complete circle is centered on the origin. If each particle carries a charge of 6.00 nC , what is the electric field at the origin? Where could you put a single particle carrying a charge of -5.00 nC to make the electric field magnitude zero at the origin?
