In Fig. a
In Fig. a, particle 1 (of charge q1) and particle 2 (of charge q2) are fixed in place on an x axis, 8.00 cm apart. Particle 3 (of charge q3 = +8.00 × 10^−19 C) is to be placed on the line between particles 1 and 2 so that they produce a net electrostatic force Fnet = 2 F0 on it Figure b gives the x component of that force versus the coordinate x at which particle 3 is placed. The scale of the x-axis is set by xs = 8.0 cm. What are (a) the sign of charge q1 and (b) the ratio q2 / q1?
