A third charge, identical to the other two, is placed first at positionA and then position<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

              B. For each case, determine the directionof the net electrical force on the third charge. If the force iszero               state that explicity.

                                                   B

Explanation / Answer

At A the forces cancel since they are in opposite directions.At B the components parallel to two charges cancel and net force will be along AB i.e F/2+F/2=F.Since identical charges means repulsion direction is along A to B
