At what point between the charges must a third charge q be placed to keep them in equilibrium? 3) A point charge is at the origin. With this point charge as the source point, what is the unit vector in the direction of a) The field point at x=0, y=-1.35m b) The field point at x=12cm, y-12cm c) The field point at x=-1.10m, y= 2.60m. Express your result in terms of unit vector. 4) In Figure below, the three particles are fixed in place and have charges q1=q2=+e and q3=+2e. Distance a=6.0m.
