Question

Three electric charges are placed along the x-axis as follows :
a +16 nC charge is placed at x = -8 cm,
a -20 nC charge is placed at x = +4 cm,
and a -10 nC charge is placed at x = +10 cm.
Therefore, the direction of the electric field at the origin is (k is the Coulomb's
constant)
to the left
O to the right
toward the plane of the screen
O away from the plane of the screen

Singly-ionized helium contains two protons and one electron (there are also neutrons, but they have net zero charge and are not pertinent to this problem). Suppose the electron is located a distance of 2.65 × 10^-11 m from the nucleus. Place the nucleus at the origin of your coordinate system and the electron on the positive-x axis. What is the position on the x-axis at which the electric field is zero?
