Example
Two charges, one with +10 μC of charge, and
another with - 7.0 μC of charge are placed in
line with each other and held at a fixed distance
of 0.45 m. Where can you put a 3rd charge of +5
μC, so that the net force on the 3rd charge is
zero?

Coulomb's Law Example
Three charges are positioned as seen below. Charge
1 is +2.0 μC and charge 2 is +8.0μC, and charge 3 is -
6.0MC.
