To solve the problem of where to place a third charged particle so that it does not experience a net electric force due to the two fixed charges A and B, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Configuration We have two charges: - Charge A: \( q_A = 8.0 \times 10^{-6} \, C \) (positive charge) - Charge B: \( q_B = -2.0 \times 10^{-6} \, C \) (negative charge) They are separated by a distance of \( d = 20 \, cm = 0.2 \, m \). ...
