Two point charges, q1 = -25 µC and q2 = +50 µC, are separated by a distance of d = 12 cm. The electric field at point P is zero. How far from q1 is point P?
Added by Katie N.
Step 1
We know that the electric field at point P is zero, which means the electric fields due to q1 and q2 must cancel each other out at point P. Show more…

(II) Two point charges, $Q_{1}=-25 \mu C$ and $Q_{2}=$ $+50 \mu C,$ are separated by a distance of $12 \mathrm{cm} .$ The electric field at the point $P$ (see Fig. $16-55$ ) is zero. How far from $Q_{1}$ is $P ?$
(II) Two point charges, $Q _ { 1 } = - 25 \mu \mathrm { C }$ and $Q _ { 2 } = + 45 \mu \mathrm { C }$ are separated by a distance of 12$\mathrm { cm } .$ The electric field at the point $\mathrm { P } ($ see Fig. 58$)$ is zero. How far from $Q _ { 1 }$ is $\mathrm { P }$ ?
