A uniform electric field with magnitude E = 450 N/C points to the right. In addition, a +5.00 nC charge located at x = 0 (this 5.00 nC charge is held in place, so that it cannot move) is also creating an electric field. See the picture below (the uniform field is shown, as well as the location of the +5.00 nC charge). E = 450 N/C 5.00 nC x = 0 -X TE You want to place another charge, qo, somewhere on the x-axis, such that the net electric force on qo is zero. a) Will qo need to be placed to the right or to the left of the 5.00 nC charge for this to happen? Explain your answer. b) At what x position (in m) will qo need to be placed for this to happen? Show your work.
