Solved: Figure 24-53a shows three particles on an x axis.
Chapter , Problem 56(choose chapter or problem)
Figure 24-53a shows three particles on an x axis. Particle 1 (with a charge of + 5.0 ftC) and particle 2 (with a charge of + 3.0 ftC) are fixed in place with separation d = 4.0 cm. Particle 3 can be moved along the x axis to the right of particle 2. Figure 24- 53b gives the electric potential energy U of the three-particle system as a function of the x coordinate of particle 3. The scale of the vertical axis is set by Us = 5.01. What is the charge of particle 3?
