Question
Three charges are arranged along a straight line as follows: q1 --- q2 --- q3. The distance between charges q1 and q2 is 25.0cm, and that between q2 and q3 is d cm. The charges are as follows: q1= +14.7uC, q2=-6.73uC, q3=+4.1uC.
What is d (in cm), so that q3 (note that this time this is not q2!) experience no net electrostatic force?
