An electric charge, A, is placed carefully between two other charges, B and C, and experiences no net electric force. Do B

and C have the same charge (positive OR negative) as one another, opposite charges from one another, or do you not have

enough information to tell?

I do not have enough information to tell

Explanation:

This is deduced due to the fact that if the net force due to B and C on A is zero, the charges on B and C could either be positive or negative depending on the charge on A.

An electric charge, A, is placed carefully between two other charges, B and C, and experiences no net electric force. Do Band C have the same charge (positive OR negative) as one another, opposite charges from one another, or do you not haveenough information to tell?
