(a)
formula for electric field due to point charge is
E = kq/ r^2
let P be the point from the +q charge where otal electric field is zero
E total= E1 + E2
kq/ x^2 + k ( -2q)/ ( x- 8.90)^2= 0
kq/ x^2 = k ( 2q)/ ( x- 8.90)^2
( x-8.90)^2/ x^2 = 2
( x-8.90)^2 = 2 x^2
x^2 -17.8 x+79.21 = 2x^2
x^2 +17.8 x -79.21 =0
solving quadratic equation
x= -21.48 m or 3.68 m
in between both charges electric field never zero so x = -21.48 m
(b)
formula for potential due to point charge is
V = kq/r
V net = kq/ x- k2q/ ( 8.9-x)
0 = kq/ x- k2q/ ( 8.9-x)
kq/ x= k2q/ ( 8.9-x)
8.9-x = 2x
8.9= 3x
x= 2.96 m ( largest)
for smallest
kq/ x=- k2q/ ( 8.9-x)
8.9-x =- 2x
8.9= -x
x=-8.9 m is smallest value
