Question:

Point charges +4.1 (C and -2.2 (C are placed on the x axis at (11 m, 0) and (-11 m, 0), respectively.

(a) Sketch the electric potential on the x axis for this system.

(b) Your sketch should show one point on the x axis between the two charges where the potential vanishes. Is this point closer to the +4.1-(C charge or closer to the -2.2-(C charge? Explain.

(c) Find the point referred to in part (b).
