In Fig., particles 1 and 2 of charge `q_(1) = q_(2) = +4e` are on a y axis at distance d = 1.70 m from the origin. Particle 3 of charge `q_(3) = +8e` is moved gradually along the x axis from x = 0 to x = +5.0 m. At what values of x will the magnitude of the electrostatic force on the third particle from the other two particles be (a) minimum and (b) maximum ? What are the (c ) minimum and (d) maximum magnitudes ?

A charge particle q_(1) , is at position (2, -1, 3). The electrostatic force on another charged particle q_(2) at (0, 0, 0) is :

A charge +q is located at the origin, while an identical charge is located on the x axis at x = +0.50 m. A third charge of +2 q is located on the x axis at such a place that the net electrostatic force on the charge at the origin doubles, its direction remaining unchanged. Where should the third charge be located ?

In Fig., particle 1 of charge +6.0 mu C and particle 2 of charge -2.0 mu C are held at separation L = 10.0 cm on an x axis. If particle 3 of unknown charge q_(3) is to be located such that the net electrostatic force on it from particles 1 and 2 is zero, what must be the (a) x and (b) y coordinates of particle 3 ?

A particle moves along the x-axis from x=0 to x=5m under the influence of a given by F =7-2x + 3x^(2) . The instantaneous power applied to the particle is.

In Fig. a, particle 1 (of charge q_(1) ) and particle 2 (of charge q_(2) ) are fixed in place on an x axis, 8.00 cm apart. Particle 3 (of charge q_(3)=+8.00xx10^(-19)C ) is to be placed on the line between particles 1 and 2 so that they produce a net electrostatic force F_("net")=2F_(0) on it Figure b gives the x component of that force versus the coordinate x at which particle 3 is placed. The scale of the x-axis is set by x_(s)=8.0 cm. What are (a) the sign of charge q_(1) and (b) the ratio q_(2)//q_(1) ?

Three particles are fixed on an x axis. Particle 1 of charge q_(1) is at x = -a, and particle 2 charge q_(2) is at x = +a. If their net electrostatic force on particle 3 of charge +Q is to be zero, what must be the ratio q_(1)//q_(2) when particle 3 is at (a) x = +0.750 a and (b) x = +1.50 a ?
