Electric field due to a point charges

AI Thread Summary
To determine the charge needed at x=4.0m, y=0 for the electric field at x=4.0m, y=3.0m to be zero, the problem requires understanding the contributions of the existing charges. Participants emphasize the importance of showing an attempt at solving the problem before seeking help, as per forum guidelines. A lack of initial effort can hinder the ability to receive assistance effectively. Users encourage posting in the homework help section with a completed template. Engaging with the problem is crucial for learning and obtaining guidance.

Suppose a charge q is placed at point x=0, y=0. A second charge q is placed at point x=8.0m, y=0. What charge must be placed at the point x=4.0m, y=0 in order that the field at the point x=4.0m, y=3.0m be zero?
