In Fig. 21-38, particle 1 of charge is above a floor by distance and particle 2 of chargeis on the floor, at distancehorizontally from particle 1.What is the xcomponent of the electrostatic force on particle 2 due to particle 1?

In Fig. 21-26, particle 1 of charge +qand particle 2 of charge +4.00q are held at separation L=9.00cmon an x-axis. If particle 3 of charge q3 is to be located such that the three particles remain in place when released, what must be the (a) xand (b) ycoordinates of particle 3, and (c) the ratio q3/q?

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?
Question: (a) what equal positive charges would have to be placed on Earth and on the Moon to neutralize their gravitational attraction? (b) Why don’t you need to know the lunar distance to solve this problem? (c) How many kilograms of hydrogen ions (that is, protons) would be needed to provide the positive charge calculated in (a)?
Two engineering students, John with a mass of and Mary with a mass of, areapart. Suppose each has aimbalance in the amount of positive and negative charge, one student being positive and the other negative.Find the order of magnitude of the electrostatic force of attraction between them by replacing each student with a sphere of water having the same mass as the student.
