Question

In part(a) of the figure, particle 1(of change G_1) and particle2(of change G_2) are fixed in place on x-axis, 12.00 cm apart, partied 3(of change G_2=8.00 times10^minus19C) is to be placed on the line between particles 1 and 2 so that they produce a not electrostatic force on it. In part (b) of the figure below gives the x component of that force versus the coordinate x at which particle 3 is places. The scale of the x-axis is set by x_2=12.00 cm. What are (a) the sign of change G_2 and (b) the ratio G_2/G_1?___________________

Explanation / Answer

a) charge q1 is positive .

b) Here,   kq1q3/32 = kq2q3/92

=>    q2/q1 = 9/1
