Two fixed charges, +1.0 x 10-6 C and -3.0 x 10-6 C, are placed 10 cm apart. (a) Where may a third charge be located so that the net force acting on this charge is zero? (b) Is the equilibrium stable or not?
Please explain and show all formulas to solve this problem! Thanks
let the point is at a distance d left to 10^-6 C charge
at that point electric field due to both the charge must be equal
k q1 / d^2 = k q2 / ( d + 10)^2
1 + 10/d = sqrt ( q2 / q1)
1+ 10/d = sqrt ( 3/1)
d = 13.66 cm
it is unstable equilibrium

do comment in case any doubt, will reply for sure.. Goodluck

Two stationary particles with the charges q1 = 1.0 C and q2 = -3.0 C are located at a distance of 10 cm from each other. How far from each of the two would a third particle have to be positioned so that the resulting electrostatic force on that particle would be zero? What is the resulting electric field of the stationary particles at this point? We were unable to transcribe this imageWe were unable to transcribe this image
