Hello all. I am kindof stuck on this problem. It asks: The figure below shows three point charges all posotive. If the net electric force on the center charge is zero, what is the value of y/x.
The answers:
a) 4/9
b) [tex] \sqrt{2/3} [/tex]
c) [tex] \sqrt{3/2} [/tex]
d) 3/2
e) 9/4
This is my figuring:
[tex] K\frac{2q}{x^2} - K\frac{3q}{y^2} = 0 [/tex]
But how can I get an actual number without a value for q?
Thanks
Chris
