SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on determining the position along the x-axis where the electric field strength becomes zero due to a particle with charge +7.88 μC located at x = 3.00 m in a uniform electric field of 300 N/C. The relevant equation used is E = K*Q / r², where K is the electrostatic constant. The goal is to find a point where the electric fields from the charge and the uniform field cancel each other out, resulting in a net electric field of zero.
