Coulomb's Law (Electric Force)
24. Electric Force & Field; Gauss' Law / Coulomb's Law (Electric Force) / Problem 1
An electrostatics lab activity uses three charged spheres (that can be modeled as point charges) to study electric forces. Spheres s3 is placed at the origin, s2 at x = 4.00 cm, while s1 is placed at 8.00 cm. Spheres s3 and s1 have charges -4.00 nC and 6.00 nC, respectively. What is the magnitude and sign of the charge s2 if the net force from the other charges on s1 is zero?
