Question: Point charge 1 is placed at a distance 2 0 from point charge 2 = + 3 ( 1 = 1 0 6 ) .

Point charge 1 is placed at a distance 20 from point charge 2=+3(1=
106). If we place any point charge 3 at point , in between these two charges, at a
distance 5 from 1(as shown in the figure), it will experience no net electric force
(
=0). Determine: (5 points)
a) The charge (magnitude and sign +/) of 1.
b) The electric potential () due to charges 1 and 2 at point .
