Problem21 70

The document examines the forces on a charged particle suspended between two parallel plates using the equations for the sum of the x and y components of the forces. It derives an expression for the equilibrium distance d of the particle from one of the plates in terms of the charge q, length between plates L, permittivity of free space ε0, and gravitational acceleration g.
