Answer:
Electric field is zero at point 4.73 m
Explanation:
Given:
Charge place = 50 cm = 0.50 m
change q1 = 5 µC
change q2 = 4 µC
Computation:
electric field zero calculated by:
[tex]E1 =k\frac{q1}{r^2} \\\\E2 =k\frac{q2}{R^2} \\\\[/tex]
Where electric field is zero,
First distance = x
Second distance = (x-0.50)
So,
E1 = E2
[tex]k\frac{q1}{r^2}=k\frac{q2}{R^2} \\\\[/tex]
[tex]\frac{5}{x^2}=\frac{4}{(x-50)^2} \\\\[/tex]
x = 0.263 or x = 4.73
So,
Electric field is zero at point 4.73 m
