Two charges -2.50 C and 6.00 C are 1.00 m apart, determine the point at which the electric field is zero.
I thought this problem would be easy but I must be doing something ridiculously wrong because I've been stuck on this problem for a about an hour...
I broke up the problem into E1 & E2 using E = kq/r^2, and replacing r^2 in E1 with x^2 and r^2 in E2 with (x+1.00m)^2 and tried to solve using the quadratic formula without success..
Any hints?
thanks in advance :)
