A long line carrying a uniform linear charge density +50.0μC/m runs along the x-axis. Its y and z coordinates are (0,0). A large, flat plastic sheet runs parallel to the line. The sheet is in the xz plane and is located on the y-axis at −10.0cm (i.e. the plastic sheet is 10 cm below the line). The sheet has a uniform surface charge density of −100μC/m^2.
Find the distance from the line charge to the point where the charged particle feels no force.
