To solve the problem of where to place a third charge \(2q\) such that it experiences no net force due to the other two charges \(q\) and \(3q\), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Configuration We have two fixed charges: - Charge \(q\) is at position \(x = 0\). - Charge \(3q\) is at position \(x = d\). We need to find a position \(x\) for the charge \(2q\) such that the net force on it is zero. ...
