Sphere C will have a net charge of 0. Sphere A was brought in contact with Sphere B, transferring charge. Then Sphere B was brought in contact with Sphere C, also transferring charge so that the total charge across all spheres was neutralized. In Coulomb's Law, r represents the straight line distance between the two charges q1 and q2. The only region where a third positively charged sphere could be placed on the rod to achieve unstable equilibrium is in region C between the two existing positively charged spheres. The magnitude of the net force on the negative charge placed at the center of a square with four positive charges Q at the corners is 4kQq/d^
