Neutral point: A point where the net electric field is zero. Equilibrium: If a charged particle is placed at the neutral point, it will experience no net force. Stable equilibrium: If the particle is slightly displaced from the neutral point, it will experience a restoring force that pushes it back towards the neutral point. Equations: E₁ = (1/4πε₀) * (q/a²) * (r̂) E₂ = (1/4πε₀) * (q/2a²) * (-r̂) E_net = E₁ + E₂ = 0 F_net = q' * E_net = 0 Condition for oscillation (SHM): x << a
