A 5.0-?C point charge is placed at the 0.00 cm mark of a meter stick and a -4.0-?C point charge is placed at the 50 cm mark. At what point on a line joining the two charges is the electric field due to these charges equal to zero?

What will be an ideal response?


Answer: 4.7 m from the 0.00-cm mark
