a) 2 identical charges are placed at 'r' distance. A charge 'q' is placed in between such that the 3 charges are at equilibrium. Find the position of 'q'. b) If 3 charges q1, q2, q3 are placed on the vertices of an equilateral triangle, find the net force acting on the centroid of the triangle.

Expert Answer:
1) when the three charges are in equilibrium,
net forces=0
kQ2/r2 +kQq/(r-x)2 =kQq/x2
solving this equation one can find the position of the charge q.
