Question: 
Two positive charges with charge qi 
4-3.72gC and 
4-8.84gC are fixed in place a distance d 
15.83 cm apart Charge qi is at the origin x = 0. 
Figure 1 _ Two positive charges, qr and q2 are separated by a distance d 
part 1) 
What is the magnitude ottne force that qi exerts on (h ? 
11.8 
Your last answer was interpreted as follows: 11.8 
part 2) 
A third charge, q3 
+2.02"C' is placed between qi and q2. Where should this charge be placed in order for it to be in equilibrium? 
Please note: Parts 3 and 4 have a combined mark ot 0.33. 
part 3) 
When +2.02"C, is placed at the equilibrium point, is the equilibrium stable or unstable? (Consider only motion in the x direction.) 
(No answer given) 
Part 4) 
Ittne charge of the same magnitude but negative, ( —2.02gC, ) is placed at this same equilibrium position, would the equilibrium now be stable or unstable? (Consider only motion in the x 
direction.) 
(No answer given)
