Consider the potential generated by finitely many positive charges in 3-space: u(x) = n∑ k=1 ak |x − xk|, ak> 0. A point x is an equilibrium point if grad u(x) = 0. Question 1. Is the set of equilibrium points always finite? (It can be infinite if we allow charges ak of different signs). Question 2. If the set of equilibrium points is finite, how many points can it contain? The answer to question 2 is unknown even if there are three points and all ak = 1. J. C. Maxwell stated without proof that the number of equilibrium points is at most (n − 1)2. This gives 4 for n = 3 which would be bes
