A point charge q1 = -1.0 C is at the origin, and a second pointcharge q2 = +4.8 C is at the point x = 0.8 m, y = 2.4 m.
(a) Find the x and y coordinates of the position at which anelectron would be in equilibrium.
x = m
y = m

(b) Find the x and y coordinates of the position at which a protonwould be in equilibrium.
x = m
y = m

(c) Suppose the charges q1 and q2 were both doubled. How would youranswers change?
The electron would be in equilibrium at the following point.
x = m
y = m

The proton would be in equilibrium at the following point.
x = m
y = m

Why?


Im not sure where to start i drew the picture and the forces but imnot sure where to go from there.
