Suppose the charge q2 in the figure below can be moved left or right along the line connecting the charges q1 and q3. Given that q = +15 µC, find the distance from q1 where q2 experiences a net electrostatic force of zero? (The charges q1 and q3 are separated by a fixed distance of 36 cm.)
magnitude in cm ?
direction?
