Finding where an electron would be in equilibrium
Yes, it would be somewhere along the line that connects the two points because the negative charge would push the electron towards the positive charge. I just don't understand how to mathematically find the point that it reaches equilibrium. I know you would set the two forces equal to each...- Abbie12998

Finding where an electron would be in equilibrium
Homework Statement A point charge of -1.0 µC is located at the origin. A second point charge of 16 µC is at x = 1 m, y = 0.5 m. Find the x and y coordinates of the position at which an electron would be in equilibrium. Homework Equations F=k((q1q2)/r^2) The Attempt at a Solution I have gotten...- Abbie12998
