Problem

Two point charges +9 µC and +1 µC are placed 10 cm apart in air. Find the distance from the +1 µC charge along the line joining them where the net electric field is zero (other than at infinity). a) 7.5 cm between the two charges7.5\text{ cm between the two charges} b) 1.0 cm between the two charges1.0\text{ cm between the two charges} c) 2.5 cm between the two charges2.5\text{ cm between the two charges} d) 5.0 cm on the side away from the +9 μC charge5.0\text{ cm on the side away from the }+9\,\mu\text{C charge}
