To find the position where the third charge \( q \) should be placed for the entire system to be in equilibrium, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Problem We have two charges: - \( Q_1 = +1 \, C \) (positive charge) - \( Q_2 = -4 \, C \) (negative charge) These charges are fixed at a distance of 1 meter apart. We need to find the position of a third charge \( q \) such that the net force acting on it due to \( Q_1 \) and \( Q_2 \) is zero. ...
