The charges and coordinates of two charged particles held fixed in an xy plane are q₁ +3.0 μC, x₁ = 3.5 cm, y₁ = 0.50 cm, and q2 -4.0 μC, x₂ = -2.0 cm, y₂ = 1.5 cm. Find the (a) magni- tude and (b) direction of the electrostatic force on particle 2 due to particle 1. At what (c) x and (d) y coordinates should a third parti- cle of charge q3= +4.0 μC be placed such that the net electrostatic force on particle 2 due to particles 1 and 3 is zero?

The charges and coordinates of two charged particles held
fixed in an xy plane are q₁ +3.0 μC, x₁ = 3.5 cm, y₁ = 0.50 cm,
and q2 = -4.0 μC, x₂ = -2.0 cm, y₂ = 1.5 cm. Find the (a) magni-
tude and (b) direction of the electrostatic force on particle 2 due to
particle 1. At what (c) x and (d) y coordinates should a third parti-
cle of charge q3 = +4.0 μC be placed such that the net electrostatic
force on particle 2 due to particles 1 and 3 is zero?
