Figure 21-34a shows charged particles 1 and 2 that are fixed in place on an x axis. Particle 1 has a charge with a magnitude of |q1| 8.00e. Particle 3 of charge q3 8.00e is initially on the x axis near particle 2. Then particle 3 is gradually moved in the positive direction of the x axis. As a result, the magnitude of the net electrostatic force on particle 2 due to particles 1 and 3 changes. Figure 21-34b gives the x component of that net force as a function of the position x of particle 3. The scale of the x axis is set by xs 0.80 m. The plot has an asymptote of F2,net 1.5 10 25 N as x : . As a multiple of e and including the sign, what is the charge q2 of particle 2? F 21010 x (m)F2, net (1025 N)xsxy1 Figure 21-34 32.
