Question

PLEASE SHOW WORK 2. [10] Charges q₁=4 µC at x=-0.50 m and q₂=-2 µC at x=1.0 lie on a line, as shown in the figure below. l

(a) [6] At what value of x on the line, (denote as x₀), is the acceleration of any charge placed on the line equal to 0.

(b) [4] If q₁ is doubled, while q₂ remains the same, what is the value of the electric field at x₀?

----- q1----------------------  q_2-----

Answer 1

So, the value of value of x on the line is 4.62 m

So the value of the electric field at x0 is 1373 N/C
