Question
A point charge q₁ = 3.90 nC is placed at the origin,
and a second point charge q2 = -2.95 nC is placed
on the x-axis at x = +20.0 cm. A third point
charge q3 = 2.10 nC is to be placed on the x-axis
between q₁ and 92. (Take as zero the potential
energy of the three charges when they are infinitely
far apart.)
