A charge +q is located at the origin. A charge - 2q is at 3.15 m on the x axis. (a) For what finite value of x is the electric field zero? 7 Xm To the right of both charges, which charge is always closest? Does it have the smaller or larger charge? At what locations are there two field contributions that can cancel to produce zero net field? (b) For what finite value(s) of x is the electric potential zero? x m Because the charge of -2q is closer than the charge of +q for this value of x, the 2q dominates and the total field cannot be zero. m smaller value larger value
