Two point charges, 3.4 and -2.0 , are placed 5.0 apart on the axis.Assume that the negative charge is at the origin, and the positive-axis is directed from the negative charge to the positive.


a) At what points along the axis is the electric field zero.

b) At what points along the axis is the potential zero? Let V=0 atr= 8.

Two-point charges are placed on the x-axis. The first charge, q1 = 8.00 nC, is placed at a distance of 16.0 m from the origin along the positive x-axis; the second charge, q2 = 6.00 nC, is placed at a distance of 9.00 m from the origin along the negative x-axis. Calculate the electric field at point A, located at coordinates (0 m, 12.0 m).
Give the x and y components of the electric field as an ordered pair.

A positive point charge Q1 = 3.52E-5 C is fixed at the origin of coordinates, and a negative charge Q2 = -8.93E-6 C is fixed to the x axis at x = +1.89 m. Find the location of the place along the x axis where the electric field due to these two charges is zero.

Two equal positive point charges +q are on the y axis; one isat y = +a and the other is at y = -a. The electric field at theorigin is zero, A test charge q_0 placed atht e origin willtherefore be in equilibrium.
a) Discuss the stability of the equilibrium for a positivetest charge by considering small displacements from equilibriumalong the x axis and small displacements along the y axis.
b) Repeat part (a) for a negative test charge.
c) Find the magnitude and sign of a charge q_0 that whenplaced at the origin results in a net force of zero on each of thethree charges.
