Electric Charges and Fields

One of the fundamental properties is the electromagnetic property. Charge cannot be destroyed by any process and this contributes formally to the law of charge conservation.

Question

A point charge q = -0.55 nC is fixed at the origin. Where must
an electron be placed in
order for the electric force
acting on it to be exactly
opposite to its weight? (Let
the y axis be vertical and
the x axis be horizontal.)
