Two spheres carry electric charge,and a third charged sphere is now placed somewhere on the line that runs through the two spheres' centers.If the result of the placement of the third charge is that there is no net electrostatic force on each of the two original spheres,what can be said?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

For there to be no net electrostatic force on each of the two original spheres after the third sphere is placed, various factors such as the magnitudes and signs of the charges, as well as the distances between the spheres, come into play. The conditions described do not necessarily imply any specific relationship (such as sign, magnitude, or equidistant placement) between the charges or their arrangement. The outcome can be achieved through different combinations of these factors, making it impossible to conclude any of the given choices with certainty.
