Two particles with charges of 5.00 μ c and -3.00 μc are placed 0.250 m apart. where can a third charge be placed so that the net force on it is zero?

0.86 m

Explanation:

q₁ = magnitude of positive charge = 5 x 10⁻⁶ C

q₂ = magnitude of negative charge = 3 x 10⁻⁶ C

r = distance between the two charges = 0.250 m

d = distance of the location of third charge from negative charge

q = magnitude of charge on third charge

Using equilibrium of electric force on third charge

d = 0.86 m

in simple terms, the principle states that the buoyancy force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object, or the density of the fluid multiplied by the submerged volume times the gravitational acceleration, g. this is also known as upthrust.
