Homework Statement
Sphere A, with a positive charge is located close to another Sphere B, with positive charge. The relative size of the charges is such that the charge on Sphere A = 4 (Sphere B). Locate Point P between the two spheres where the force exerted by the field is zero. State the location of Point P in terms of the center of A and B.
Homework Equations
These are the equations I have to work with:
F = k (Qq)/d2
where:
* K = 9 x 10^9 Nm^2/C^2(constant),
* Q = electric force of one object (C),
* q = electric force of the other object (C),
* d = distance between the two objects (m).
E = F/q
The Attempt at a Solution
I had no clue of how to go about this without an actual given distance. I tried finding the E of each charge with d^2 still in it then add those two to equal zero, but it didn't work. All of the example I have found have either had a positive and negative charge or a given distance. How would I solve this?
