In Fig. 21-27a, particle 1 (of charge q1) and particle 2 (of charge q2) are fixed in

Chapter 21, Problem 16

(choose chapter or problem)

In Fig. 21-27a, 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 1019 C) is to be placed on the line between particles 1 and 2 so that they produce a net electrostatic force on it. Figure 21-27b 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? F (1023 N)1010 xsxx (cm)y
