The electric force between two objects is expressed as being proportional to the product of their charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance separating them. In this instance, the distance between the first two charges is 19 cm. We formulate the equation k q1 q3/ (x)^2 = k q2 q3/ (19-x)^2, where x denotes the separation between q1 and q3. The charge q3 cancels out, and q2 is used in absolute terms. The resulting value of x is 5.79 cm.
