Problem

+6.0\,\mu\text{C}

charge is fixed at

x=-0.10\,\text{m}

, and a

-2.0\,\mu\text{C}

charge is fixed at

x=+0.20\,\text{m}

. Along the

x

-axis, at what point would a

+1.0\,\mu\text{C}

test charge experience zero net electric force? (a)

x\approx +0.09\,\text{m}

(b)

x\approx -0.34\,\text{m}

(c)

x\approx +0.61\,\text{m}

(d)

x\approx +0.35\,\text{m}
