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 charges: - Charge \(q\) is placed at position \(x = 0\). - Charge \(-3q\) is placed at position \(x = d\). We need to place a third charge \(2q\) at a position \(x\) such that the net force acting on it is zero. ...
