If the distance between two charges is increased to three times the original distance, how will the electrical force between the charges compare with the original force? it will increase to three times the original force. it will increase to nine times the original force. it will decrease to one-third the original force. it will decrease to one-ninth the original force.

a charge 3q is at the origin, and a charge −2q is on the positive x axis at x=a. part a where on the x-axis would you place a third charge so it would experience no net electric force? enter an expression for the exact answer, which will involve a square-root sign. (do not enter an approximate decimal answer.)

hi there!

out of the two, (b) precision would be more reasonable.   however, both a and b could be pretty reasonable.
