And what is the value of ##x## from that equation?
The discussion revolves around finding the neutral point in the electric field created by two charges. Participants are exploring the vector representation of electric fields and questioning the validity of certain approaches outlined in a textbook.
Some participants are seeking clarification on the textbook's approach, while others are attempting to reconcile their understanding with the provided solutions. There is an ongoing exploration of the definitions and notations used in the context of electric fields.
Participants note constraints regarding the representation of vectors and the implications of using different reference points for position vectors in the electric field equations. There is also mention of the difficulty in sharing textbook material due to copyright concerns.
I get x as ## \frac {√2} {3} ## @kurumantellmesomething said:Yes $$ \frac {kq} {x²}= \frac {k4q} {(√2-x)²} $$
Further I can multiply this with the unit vector and find the vevtor joining r2 and r3 as well as r3 and r1kuruman said:And what is the value of ##x## from that equation?
And from there its easy to find out the position vector r3tellmesomething said:Further I can multiply this with the unit vector and find the vevtor joining r2 and r3 as well as r3 and r1
Go ahead and do it.tellmesomething said:And from there its easy to find out the position vector r3
Done! Got the answer.kuruman said:Go ahead and do it.
