For a charge to experience no net force,
F1 = F2
kQ1Q = kQ2Q
(d + x)² x²
where, Q1 = 5.75e-6C
Q2 = 4.55e-6C
Q = third charge
d = 16.5e-2 m
x = unknown distance
kQ1Qx² = kQ2Q(d+x)²
Q1x² = Q2(d²+2dx+x²)
Q1x² = Q2d² + 2Q2dx + Q2x²
Q1x² - 2Q2dx - Q2x² = Q2d²
x²(Q1 - Q2) = Q2d² + 2Q2dx
x² = Q2d² + 2Q2dx
Q1 - Q2
2Q2dx is a very small value thus it's approximated to zero.
x²=4.55e-6*(16.5e-2)²
5.75e-6 - 4.55e-6
square rooting both sides
x = 16.5e-2√4.55e-6
√(5.75e-6 - 4.55e-6)
x = 0.32m = 32cm
The 3rd charge must be placed at 32cm so it experiences no net charge.
