**Problem 3: Finding the Zero Electric Field Point** In the given Figure P19.17, you need to determine the point (other than at infinity) at which the electric field is zero. **Diagram Explanation:** - The figure displays two charged particles along the horizontal axis. - The particle on the left is a negative charge of \(-2.50 \, \mu\text{C}\). - The particle on the right is a positive charge of \(6.00 \, \mu\text{C}\). - The distance between the two charges is \(1.00 \, \text{m}\). To solve this, identify the location along the line between or outside the charges where the electric fields due to the charges cancel each other out, resulting in a net electric field of zero.

Expert Solution
Step 1: Introduction to given data

Given 

one charge = q1 = -2.50μC

second charge = q2 = 6.00μC

distance between q1 and q2 = d = 1.00 m 

I have to find the point where the net electric field is zero.
