A +7.00µC point charge and −9.00µC point charge are placed along the x-axis at x = 0.000 m andx = 40.0 m, respectively. Where must a third charge, q, be placed along the x-axis so that it doesnot experience any net electric force due to the other two charges?
Three point charges are located at the corners of an equilateral triangle of side 20.0 cm. The charges at the base of the triangle are -4.00 nC (lower left) and -5.00 nC (lower right). The charge at the apex of the triangle is 3.00 nC.
(a) Find the magnitude and direction of the force on the charge at the apex.
(b) Find the electric field at the location of the charge at the apex of the triangle.
(c) Calculate the potential energy of the system of three charges.
(d) How much work was done in assembling the three charges?
(e) Find the electric potential at the apex point of the triangle (without the charge present).
(f) With the apex charge present, what is the electric potential at the centre of the triangle?
Three point charges are arranged along the x axis. Charge q1 = -4.50 C is located at × = 0.200 m,
and charge q2 = +2.50 C is at x = -0.300 m. A positive point charge q3 is located at the origin. (a)

What is the direction of the net force on q3? (c) Where along the x axis can q3 be placed and the net
force on it be zero, other than the trivial answers of x = + and x = -00?
