Question

 Two charges lie in a line along the x axis. Charge 1 is q1 = 1.1 C and charge 2 is q2 = 2.15 C. They are each a distance of d = 0.093 m from the origin.

A)What is the distance on the x-axis from the origin at which the electric field will be zero. Give your answer in meters. 

 

The image is a diagram displaying a coordinate plane with the x-axis and y-axis. The origin is marked at the point (0,0). 

On the x-axis, there are two points marked as q1 and q2, each located symmetrically about the origin. The point q1 is positioned to the right of the origin, at a distance labeled as "d." Similarly, the point q2 is positioned to the left of the origin, also at a distance labeled as "d."

The x-axis is labeled with an arrow pointing to the right, indicating the positive direction, and the y-axis is labeled with an arrow pointing upward. Both q1 and q2 are represented by filled black circles on the diagram.
