I think I might just have to ask my teacher about this one. That was all the information given. Thanks for the help though, I appreciate it!

I think if they were free to move the forces between them would continuously change (because the force is proportional to distance squared). So, them being stationary makes sense, but I recall my teacher stating that in each part of the problem a different sphere was free to move. If we assume...

I think I see where you are coming from. Would the sphere the force is acting upon be free to move? Or none at all? The directions didn't specify.

Well, I had to screw something up on my first post :oldfrown: I will add it in now.

Homework Statement Three separate spheres next to each other. The one on the left is positive (charge of +25.5μ C). The one on the right is negative(-25.5μ C). The two are separated by 0.25m. The third sphere has a charge of +2.5μ C and is placed exactly halfway between the two. Find the force...
