[QUOTE="link223, post: 6631574, member: 700781"] [B]Homework Statement:[/B] Two point charges, and are placed 5.0 cm apart on the x axis. At what points along the x axis is (a) the electric field zero and (b) the potential zero? Let V = 0 at r = infinity. [B]Relevant Equations:[/B] Electric potential Apparently, there are two solutions where the electric potential is zero which I don't understand, can I get some input on how this is possible? I have one thing in mind (which I just thought of and might solve it), the equipotentiality i.e. when I draw a circle for V = 0 around the negative charge it will have 2 points where V = 0 one to the right and one to the left because the equipotential lines are continuous. Is that reasoining correct? [ATTACH type="full" alt="1652454851056.png"]301419[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
