To solve the problem of where to place the third charge \( q \) so that the entire system is in equilibrium, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Configuration We have two charges: - \( Q_1 = +1 \, \text{C} \) (positive charge) - \( Q_2 = -4 \, \text{C} \) (negative charge) These charges are fixed at a separation of 1 meter. ...
