FULL SCREENPRINTER VERSIONBACK NEXT Chapter 21, Problem 007 In the figure three charged particles lie on an x axis. Particles 1 and 2 are fixed in place. Particle 3 is free to move, but the net electrostatic force on it from particles 1 and 2 happens to be zero. If L23 L12, what is the ratio q1/g2 Number Units exact number, no tolerance Question Attempts: 0 of 5 used SAVE FOR LATER SUBMIT ANSWE elicy 12000-2018 lohn Wiley &Sons; Inc. All Rights Reserved.

Explanation / Answer

Let L12=L23=L

Net electrostatic force on charge Q3 is

F3=F1+F2=0

=>KQ1Q3/(L+L)2 +KQ2Q3/L2=0

Q1/4 +Q2=0

=>Q1/Q2 =-4
