Chapter 19, Problem 27P(choose chapter or problem)
Suppose the charge \(q_{2}\) in Figure 19–29can be moved left or right along the line connecting the charges \(q_{1} and q_{3}\). Given that \(q=+12 \mu C\), find the distance from \(q_{1} where q_{2}\) experiences a net electrostatic force of zero. (The charges \(q_{1} and q_{3}\) are sepa-rated by a fixed distance of 32 cm.)

ANSWER:
Step 1 of 3
Here we need to calculate the distance of the null point from charge where the charge
experiences zero net force on it. Charge is given to be
and the distance between charge
and
is given to be
. From given figure,
,
and
.
