Two particles (free to move) with charge...

Two particles (free to move) with charges `+q` and `+4q` are a distance L apart. A third charge is placed so that the entire system is in equilibrium.
(a) Find the location, magnitude and sign of the third charge.
(b) Show that the equilibrium is unstable.

A

`Q=(4)/(9)q "(negative)at" (l)/(3)`

B

`Q=(4)/(9) q"(positive) at" (l)/(3)`

C

`Q=q "(positive) at" (l)/(3)`

D

`Q = q"(negative) at" (l)/(3)`
