A negative point charge Q1, is located at the origin. A rod of length L is located along the x axis with the near side a distance d from the origin. A positive charge Q2, is uniformly spread over the length of the rod. After integrating the force from each slice over the length of the rod, the magnitude of the electric force on the charge at the origin can be represented as the following: F = (k |Q1| |Q2|) / (d (d + L)) Let L = 2.22m, d = 0.42m, Q1 = -6.29µC, and |Q2| = 11.1µC.

There are two uncharged concentric conducting spherical shells and a separate point charge. The smaller shell has an inner radius of 0.100m and an outer radius of 0.200m.
