Homework Statement
A 13.0 nC charge is at x= 0 cm and a -1.2 nC charge is at 6 cm.
At what point or points on the x-axis is the electric potential zero?
Homework Equations
V=kq/r
The Attempt at a Solution
0=13K/r + 1.2K/(r-0.06)
13(r-0.06)=-1.2r
r=5.5 cm
There is another point where the electric potential is zero. I have tried r+0.06 and moving the (r-0.06) to the other side of the equation, but I haven't found a correct second point. How do I find the second point? Thanks!
