Two charged particles exert an electric force of 15 N on each other. What will the magnitude of the force be if the distance between the particles is reduced to one-half of the original separation? If the original distance between the particles is now restored, how much larger would the charge on either one of the particles have to become to yield the same force that was present when the particle separation was only one-half its original value?
Two particles each with a charge -Q are fixed a distance L apart as shown above. Each particle experiences a net electric force F. A particle with a charge +q is now fixed midway between the original two particles. As a result, the net electric force experienced by each negatively charged particle is reduced to 2F.The value of q is

Three charged particles, A, B, and C, are placed in a line. Particles A and B are fixed in place. Particle C (we'll refer to it as the test charge) is free to move if an electric force is exerted on it, but remains stationary when placed at some location to the left of the other two charged particles, A and B.
