Three point charges lie along the x axis as shown in figure 2.2. The positive charge q1 =15.0μC is
at x = 2.00 m, the positive charge q2 = 6.00 μC is at the origin, and the resultant force acting on
q3 is zero. What is the x coordinate of q3?

Answers

If the net force acting on q3 is zero, then the force F13 exerted by q1 on q3 must be equal in
magnitude and opposite in direction to the force F23 exerted by q2 on q3. Because q3 is negative
