Two electrical charges, (q1 = 2.25 μC and q2 = –6.75μC) are located along the x-axis.
q1 is located at the origin; q2 is located at x = 1.25 cm.
Where, if anywhere, along the x-axis could you place a third chargeso that it would not accelerate as a result of electrical forces by the other two charges?
• Make a diagram of the situation. Define the positivex-direction conventionally (to the right).
• On your diagram, label 3 regions: Region A is to the leftof q1. Region B is between q1 and q2.
charges. Region C is to the right of q2.
• What would happen to a positive charge placed in regionA?
Is there any place where it could be located and not accelerate?Explain fully.
