Particle 1 carrying 2.0 μC of charge is fixed at the origin of a rectangular coordinate system xy, particle 2 carrying-2.0 µC is fixed 45° above the positive horizontal axis x 4.0 mm from the origin, and particle 3 carrying-2.0 C is fixed 45° below the positive horizontal axis 4.6 mm from the origin. Part A Where in the system should you place a particle 4 carrying -0.6 μC so that the vector sum of the electric forces exerted on particle 1 is zero?
