Electric Charges and Fields

One of the fundamental properties is the electromagnetic property. Charge cannot be destroyed by any process and this contributes formally to the law of charge conservation.

Question

Two point charges, q1 (on the left) and q2 (on the right), are placed
exactly 1.00 m apart. If q1 is 2.92 µC and q2 is 4.35 µC, at what
distance from q1 (between the charges) will the net electric field be
exactly zero? Give your answer in meters. (1.00 μC
=
1.00x10-6 C)
(Hint: rearrange the sum of the fields into quadratic form, and
remember to include direction (+ or -) where appropriate in your sum of
fields.)
