You are working for a manufacturing company. Your supervisor has an idea for controlling the position of a small bead by using electric fields. The physical setup is shown in the figure below. mq Fixed beads Movable bead -pq a Three fixed beads are secured along the y-axis, with a bead of charge +ng at the origin and charges of -mq a distance a above and below the origin. The values of m and n can be set by an operator. On an insulating wire laid along the x-axis, movable bead with charge -pq is placed. By adjusting m and n, the movable bead can be moved to different equilibrium positions x along the wire. Your supervisor asks you to set up the system and test it. In particular, he asks for answers to the following questions. (a) If n 3 in particular test, what is the value of m that will place the movable bead in equilibrium at x = a? m = 4.23 (b) In a second test with n= 3, what is the value of m that will place the movable bead in equilibrium at x = 2a? m= 2.097 ✓ (c) If n = 3 and the largest you can make m is m = 7, what is the closest equilibrium position of the bead to the origin? (Give your answer in terms of a.) 0.74 a a +ng
