Two point charges, Q1 = 3.0 ÎĽC and Q2 = -1.8 ÎĽC, are placed on the x-axis. Suppose that Q2 is placed at the origin, and Q1 is placed at the coordinate x1 = -3.0 cm (Figure 1). At what point(s) along the x-axis is the electric field zero? Determine the x-coordinate(s) of the point(s). At what point(s) along the x-axis is the potential zero? Determine the x-coordinate(s) of the point(s).

Point charges $q_{1}=q_{2}=4.0 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{C}$ are fixed on the $x$ -axis at $x=-3.0 \mathrm{m}$ and $x=3.0 \mathrm{m}$. What charge $q$ must be placed at the origin so that the electric field vanishes at $x=0, y=3.0 \mathrm{m} ?$
