Point charges of and are placed on a x-axis, at and , respectively. What charge must be placed at so that any charge placed at the origin would experience no electrostatic force?
In Fig. 21-24, three identical conducting spheres initially have the following charges: sphere A, ; sphere B, ; and sphere C, . Spheres Aand Bare fixed in place, with a center-to-center separation that is much larger than the spheres. Two experiments are conducted. In experiment 1, sphere Cis touched to sphere Aand then (separately) to sphere B, and then it is removed. In experiment 2, starting with the same initial states, the procedure is reversed: Sphere Cis touched to sphere Band then (separately) to sphere A, and then it is removed. What is the ratio of the electrostatic force between Aand Bat the end of experiment 2 to that at the end of experiment 1?

Three particles are fixed on an x-axis. Particle 1 of charge q1 is at x=-a, and particle 2 of charge q2is at x=+a. If their net electrostatic force on particle 3 of charge -Qis to be zero, what must be the ratio q1 /q2when particle 3 is at (a)x=+0.500a and (b) x=+1.50a?
In Fig. 21-26, particle 1 of charge and particle 2 of charge are held at separation on an xaxis. In unit-vector notation, what is the net electrostatic force on particle 3, of charge , if particle 3 is placed at (a)cm and (b) ? What should be the (c) xand (d) ycoordinates of particle 3 if the net electrostatic force on it due to particles1 and 2 is zero?
Question: A charged nonconducting rod, with a length of 2.00 mand a cross-sectional area of, lies along the positive side of ax-axis with one end at the origin. The volume charge density is charge per unit volume in coulombs per cubic meter. How many excess electrons are on the rod if is (a) uniform, with a value of, and (b) non-uniform, with a value given by, where?
