Two point charges, Q1\mathrm{Q}_{1} and Q2\mathrm{Q}_{2}, are located a distance 0.20 meter apart, as shown above. Charge Q1=+8.0μC\mathrm{Q}_{1}=+8.0 \mu \mathrm{C}. The net electric field is zero at point P , located 0.40 meter from Q1\mathrm{Q}_{1} and 0.20 meter from Q2\mathrm{Q}_{2}. a. Determine the magnitude and sign of charge Q2\mathrm{Q}_{2}. b. Determine the magnitude and direction of the net force on charge Q1\mathrm{Q}_{1} c. Calculate the electrostatic potential energy of the system. d. Determine the coordinate of the point R on the x -axis between the two charges at which the electric potential is zero. e. How much work is needed to bring an electron from infinity to point R . which was determined in the previous part?
