Two particles, Particles A and B, are separated by a distance of R = 10 cm, where the magnitude of the charges QA= -20e and QB = +2e. Between the two charges is placed a third charge Qc of -4e, resulting in a net charge of Fc,net. If particles A and B remain in position, at what x-coordinate must particle C be placed to produce an electrostatic force FC,net of minimum magnitude?
