Two Equal Positive Charges Are Held in Place at a Fixed

question 55

True/False

Two equal positive charges are held in place at a fixed distance.If you put a third positive charge midway between these two charges,its electrical potential energy of the system (relative to infinity)is zero because the electrical forces on the third charge due to the two fixed charges just balance each other.
