here q1 > q2

so, q3 must be placed close to q2 and on -x

axis.

let x is the distance from origin where q3 is supposed

to place.

Apply, F23 = F13
7th Edition 1st Edition 1st Edition
k*q2*q3/x^2 = k*q1*q3/(1+x)^2
View all solutions
(1+x)^2/x^2 = q1/q2

(1/x)/x = sqrt(10/2)

1+x = 2.236*x

1 = 1.236*x

==> x = 1/1.236

= 0.809 m

so, at x = -0.809 m, q3 should be placed.

Q: Three charges lie along the x-axis. The positive

chargeq1 = 11.57µC is at x = 1.20
m,and the negative charge q2 =-2.20 µC
is at the origin. Wheremust a positive charge
q3 be placed onthe x-axis so that the
resultant force on it is zero?

Q: In exersize 15.2 of SERWAY/FAUGHN/VUILLE:

Three charges lie along the x-axis. The positive charge (q1
=10μC) is at
x=1.00m, and the negative charge (q2= -2μC)is at the
origin. Where must a positive charge (q3) be placed onthe x-axis so
that the resultant force on it is zero. The answer inthe book is x=
-0. 809m. I have tried several ways and stillcan't get it.
