Chapter 21, Problem 13P

GO In Fig. 21-26, particle 1 of charge +l.0 µC and particle 2 of charge −3.0 µC are held at separation L = 10.0 cm on an x axis. If particle 3 of unknown charge q₃ is to be located such that the net electrostatic force on it from particles 1 and 2 is zero. what must be the (a) x and (b) y coordinates of particle 3?

Students have asked these similar questions

Imagine you are out for a stroll on a sunny day when you encounter a lake. Unpolarized light from the sun is reflected off the lake into your eyes. However, you notice when you put on your vertically polarized sunglasses, the light reflected off the lake no longer reaches your eyes. What is the angle between the unpolarized light and the surface of the water, in degrees, measured from the horizontal? You may assume the index of refraction of air is nair=1 and the index of refraction of water is nwater=1.33 . Round your answer to three significant figures. Just enter the number, nothing else.
