Description

A point charge q = -0.36 nC is fixed at the origin. Where must a proton be placed in order for the electric force acting on it to be exactly opposite to its weight? (Let the y axis be vertical and the x axis be horizontal.)

below or above the q?

Explanation & Answer

Thank you for the opportunity to help you with your question!

The electric force must be up so since the charge at the origin is negative the force on a proton will be up if it is BELOW q 

Please let me know if you need any clarification. I'm always happy to answer your questions.
