Two Tiny Particles Having Charges Of $+ 7.00 \mu \mathrm { C }$

question 93

Multiple Choice

Two tiny particles having charges of $+ 7.00 \mu \mathrm { C }$ and $- 9.00 \mu \mathrm { C }$ are placed along the $y$ -axis. The $+ 7.00 - \mu \mathrm { C }$ particle is at $y = 0.00 \mathrm {~cm}$ , and the other particle is at $y = 40.00 \mathrm {~cm}$ . Where must a third charged particle be placed along the $y$ -axis so that it does not experience any net electric force due to the other two particles?

• A) \(2.99 \mathrm {~m}\)
• B) \(- 2.99 \mathrm {~m}\)
• C) \(0.187 \mathrm {~m}\)
• D) \(0.200 \mathrm {~m}\)
• E) \(- 0.187 \mathrm {~m}\)
