Question: A point charge q1 = + 6.0e is fixed at the origin of a rectangular coordinate system, and a point charge q2 = 10e

A point charge q1 = + 6.0e is fixed at the origin of a rectangular coordinate system, and a point charge q2 = – 10e is fixed at x = 8.6nm, y = 0. The locus of all points in the xy plane for which V = 0 (other than infinity) is a circle centered on the x axis, as shown in Figure Find

(a) The location x, of the center of the circle and

(b) The radius R of the circle.

(c) Is the xy cross section of the 5V equipotential surface also a circle?
