I was using the wrong distance for r in my final calculation. All is solved.

Note that when inputting my final answer I put in negative 7.49E-16 C, because in order for particle 2 and 3 to counteract the forces of particle 4, they must have a negative charge.

1. The problem statement: In the figure four particles form a square with edge length a = 2.44 × 10-2 m. The charges are q1 = q4 = 1.06 × 10-15 C and q2 = q3 = q. What is q if the net electrostatic force on particle 1 is zero? All variables and given/known data: The given variable are in the...

Hi all, I stumbled upon this site while searching for explanations to a Homework problem. I'm a decent student, but I'm certainly not the best. I'm currently enrolled in two physics courses at my college (Electricity & Magnetism and Optics). I'm doing pretty well in E&M, but Optics is kicking my...
