Question

Name: Electric Fields Problem Statement A 5.0-uC point charge is placed at the 0.00 cm mark of a meter stick and a -4.0-uc point charge is placed at the 50 cm mark. At what point on a line joining the two charges is the electric field due to these charges equal to zero? Visual Representation • Draw a sketch of the charge distribution. Establish a coordinate system and show the locations of the charges. Identify the point P at which you want to calculate the electric field. • Draw the electric field of each charge at point P. • Use symmetry to determine if any components E net are zero.
