To solve the problem of where to place the third charged particle C so that it does not experience a net electric force, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Charges and Their Positions**: - Let charge A (Q1) = \(8 \times 10^{-6} \, C\) (positive charge). - Let charge B (Q2) = \(-2 \times 10^{-6} \, C\) (negative charge). - The distance between A and B is 20 cm or 0.2 m. ...
