Homework Statement
a 6uC + charge is at (0,0) and a 1uC + charge is at (0,1m). Where between them is the electric field equal to 0?
Homework Equations
F=qE
F=K(q_1)(q_2)/r^2
The Attempt at a Solution
F=K(q_1)(q_2)/r^2
F=(9.0*10^9)(1*10^-6)(6*10^-6)/(1^2)
F=5.4*10^-5 (The force each exerts upon each other)
F=qE
Since E=0, F=0
F=0 at:
0=K(q_1)(q_2)/r^2
Find r
0=(9.0*10^9)(1*10^-6)(6*10^-6)/r^2
And this is where we have a problem
