Homework Statement
Two point charges Q1 = -58.6 mC and Q2 = +35.4 mC are located so that Q1 is directly above Q2. The coordinates of Q1 is (-12.0 cm, +15.6 cm). The two charges are 42.8 cm apart. Determine the coordinates of the location where the net electric field due to Q1 and Q2 is zero. Give your answer in the form "(+/-ab.c m, +/-d.ef m)".
Homework Equations
E1 = E2
The Attempt at a Solution
58.6 x 10^(-3)/y^2 = +354 x 10^(-3)/(0.428 - y)^2
0.428 - y = +/- 0.77723y
0.428 = +/- 0.77723y + y
0.428 = 1.77723y
0.428/1.77723 = y
0.24 m = y
My final answer (-12.0 m, 0.24m) But its still wrong
I will be very gratefull if anyone helps me!
