- The figure below shows three positively charged particles at three corners of a rectangle. 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. The rectangle's horizontal side has length x = 5.00 cm and its vertical side has length y = 3.50 cm. Three positive charges lie at three of the corners of a rectangle of horizontal side length x and vertical side length y < x. An charge labeled q1 is at the upper left corner. A charge labeled q2 is at the lower left corner. A charge labeled q3 is at the lower right corner. (a)What is the electric potential (in V) at the upper-right corner of the rectangle?

She rubs it on her head and then holds it up to the ceiling and lets the force of static electricity between the balloon and the ceiling hold her up. If Zoey weighs 700N and the charge on the balloon is 1.5 x 10-9 C and the balloon is 4.0 x 10 3 m away from the ceiling's charge, then what must the charge on the ceiling be to be able to create a force of electricity equal to Zoey's weight?
