Two point charges, $q_{1}=+20.0 \mathrm{nC}$ and $q_{2}=+10.0 \mathrm{nC},$ are located on the $x$ -axis at $x=0$ and $x=1.00 \mathrm{m},$ respectively. Where on the $x$ -axis is the electric field equal to zero?
A point charge +8q is at the origin of an x-axis and a point charge -2q at x = L. At what point on the x-axis is the total electric field equal to zero?

Two point charges are located on the $x$ -axis: a charge of $+6.0 \mathrm{nC}$ at $x=0$ and an unknown charge $q$ at $x=$ $0.50 \mathrm{m} .$ No other charges are nearby. If the electric field is zero at the point $x=1.0 \mathrm{m},$ what is $q ?$
