Homework Statement
A negative point charge q1 = -4.00 nC is on the x-axis at x = 0.60 m. A second point charge q2 is on the x-axis at x=-1.20 m.
What must the sign and magnitude of q2 be for the net electric field at the origin to be 50.0 N/C in the +x direction be?
What must the sign and magnitude of q2 be for the net electric field at the origin to be 50.0 N/C in the -x direction be?
Homework Equations
Coulomb's Law
E = q1 + q2
The Attempt at a Solution
Ok, i got the part when it is in the + x direction but how would i do it for the - x direction? I was doing 50 = 100-q2, but i don't think it will work?? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
