The particle at upper left has a charge q1 = 4.00 nC, the one at the lower left has a charge of q2 = 5.00 nC,and the one at lower right has a charge q3 = 6.00 nC.

Healthy red blood cells are negatively charged, but unhealthy cells (due to the presence of a bacteria, for example) can become positively charged. In the figure, three red blood cells are oriented such that they are located on the corners of an equilateral triangle. The red blood cell charges are A = 2.10 pC, B = 6.90 pC, and C = −3.80 pC.
