A gas has to become ionisied in order to become a conductor. It must have a chain reaction in which atoms in it became unstable, in which they loose stabile electronic configuration. In order for a gas to become a conductor, it must have free particles, and it can happen only in ionisied gas.

Answer:

Explanation:
Here two charges are placed at distance "d" apart
now the net value of electric field at some position between two charges will be ZERO
so we will have
electric field due to charge 1 = electric field due to charge 2

Let the position where net field is zero will lie at distance "r" from q1

now we will have

now square root both sides

now we have

so we have

Take east to be the positive direction. Then the resultant force from adding <em>F</em>₁ and <em>F</em>₂ is
<em>F</em>₁ + <em>F</em>₂ = (-45 N) + 63 N = 18 N
which is positive, so it's directed east.
To this we add a third force <em>F</em>₃ such that the resultant is 12 N pointing west, making it negative, so that
18 N + <em>F</em>₃ = -12 N
<em>F</em>₃ = -30 N
So <em>F</em>₃ has a magnitude of 30 N and points west.
