Question
Consider two point-particles located as shown in the figure. Particle 1 has charge q1 = 6.5 μC and is located at coordinates (x1,y1) = (-3, 0) m and particle 2 has charge q2 = -8.5 μC and is located at coordinates (x2,y2) = (1, 0) m.
If you assume the potential vanishes at infinity, the potential will be zero at some point (x0,0) with -3 m < x0 < 1 m. Write an expression for x0 in terms of q1, q2, x1, and x2.

Transcribed Image Text:This image depicts a vector on a two-dimensional plane. The vector is represented as a bold arrow pointing to the right. It originates from the point (-3, 0) and passes through the point (1, 0).
- **Points:**
- Point 1: Located at (-3, 0). It is marked with a bold dot and the label "1".
- Point 2: Located at (1, 0). This point is also marked with a bold dot and the label "2".
- **Vector:**
- The vector is drawn from Point 1 to Point 2, with an arrowhead indicating direction extending to the right beyond Point 2.
This vector represents a movement or direction on a plane starting from the coordinate (-3, 0) and extending in the positive x-direction past (1, 0). The labeling of the points suggests a sequence or pathway from 1 to 2 along the vector.
