Description : Two fixed charges are shown in black. They might be "Equal/Unequal" (in terms of magnitude) or "Like/Unlike" (in terms of their sign .. positive or negative). Drag the small green test charge around the screen and observe the relationship between the force vector and its proximity to the charges. Can you find a "force-free" point in each of the two cases?
