    Solving for Electric Force: Two Point Charges

    The answer is 1.9m. I still don't understand it because since both the charges are positive, wouldn't the forces be in the other direction (no forces in between both the charges) since they are going to repel each other?

    Solving for Electric Force: Two Point Charges

    Homework Statement Two point charges, 3q and q lie along x-axes. 3q is at 0.00 m and q is at 3.0m. Find the point between the 2 charges at which the net force on charge q is zero. Homework Equations F=kq1q2/r^2 The Attempt at a Solution Really can't figure this one out. Missed the...
