Think about how you will proceed.2. What information is given, what is missing?3. Develop the equations in an algebraic format.4. Solve for an algebraic solution.5. Plug in the numbers at the end.6. Look at some special cases to check on consistancy.7. Think about what you have learned that is worth retaining.In the figure, a central particle of charge -2q is surrounded by a square array of charged particles, separated by either distance d or d/2 along the perimeter of the square.In the figure, particle 1 of charge +1.0 µC and particle 2 of charge -4.0 µC, are held at separation L = 11.0 cm on an x axis. If particle 3 of unknown charge q3 is to be located such that the net electrostatic force on it from particles 1 and 2 is zero, what must be the coordinates of particle 3? x=[-11] cm y=[0] cmA mechanics problem from the past!Free Body Forces?Find force on lower left particle.Find force on lower left particle.What is e??|e|=1.6 x 10-19 CoulombsExact value in
