A point charge of -2.5 µC is located at the origin. A second point charge of 11 µC is at x = 1 m, y = 0.5 m. Find the x and y coordinates of the position at which an electron would be in equilibrium.
x =  m
y =  m

Solutions

Expert Solution

As the electron have to stay in equilibrium then the electron should be placed on the line joining between the charges.

So the net electric force on electron due to both charges will be zero.
