באַשייד

To calculate the electric field strength at point P, assumed at point P there is a positive test charge. Q₁ is positive and Q₂ is negative, therefore point P must be on the right of Q₂ or left of Q₁. If point P is to the left of Q₁; the electric field generated by Q₁ at the point P is to the left (away from Q₁) and the electric field generated by Q₂ at the point P to the right (towards Q₁). The direction of the electric field is opposite so that the two electric fields eliminate each other so that the electric field strength at point P is zero.

באַקאַנט:

Q₁ = 9 μC = +9 x 10^{-קסנומקס} C

Q₂ = -4 μC = -4 x 10^{-קסנומקס} C

לייזונג:

Point P is on the left of Q₁.

The electric field produced by Q₁ at point P:

The test charge is positive and Q₁ is positive so that the direction of an electric field to leftward.

The electric field produced by Q₂ at point P:

Net electric field at point A :

Use the quadratic formula to determine a :

a = -1.25, b = -13.5, c = -20.25

Distance between Q₂ און פונקט פּ (ר_2P) = 3 + a = 3 – 1.8 = 1.2 cm.

Point P is on the 1.2 cm right of Q₁.
