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. Two charges are separated by a distance of 5.0 cm. q, has a charge of 4.0x10 C and q, has a
charge of 2.8x10" C. Locate the point(s) where a positive test charge could be placed to keep it in
equilibrium.
b. Sketch the electric field lines for this system of charges.
