Explanation

1) Concept:

If there are two unlike charges the electric field in between them will be no be xero.

Hence the point at which electric field is zero located either at right or left side depending on magnitude of given charges. That is the point is away from larger charge.

The electric field set up by a positively charged particle always point directly away from the particle. Those set up by a negatively charged particle always point directly toward the particle. If there are two charges, the field lines always originate from the positive charge and end at the negative charge.

2) Formulae:

i. Net electric field= Σ (electric field due to q1 , q2, qn)

ii. The magnitude of the electric field set up by a particle with charge at distance from the  particle is

E= k qr2

Where k- 14πεo  is the Coulomb’s constant which is equal to 8.99 x 109 N.m2C2

3) Given:

Charge on the particle 1, q1 = -5.00q

Charge on the particle 2,q2 = +2.00q

Distance of separation=L

4) Calculations:

a

Since one charge is positive and another is negative, the net electric field cannot be zero in between them. Assume the point P where the net electric field is zero is to the right of q2 at a distance x from it.

The location of charges and the point are shown in the following figure

Fundamentals of Physics Extended, Chapter 22, Problem 14P , additional homework tip  2

Electric field on P due to q, E1=k(5q)(L+x)2

Electric field on P due to q, E2=k(2q)x2

For net electric field to be zero on the axis

E1-E2=0

k(5q)(L+x)2- k2qx2=0

5x2-2(L+x)2=0

3x2-4Lx-2L2=0

Solve this quadratic equation using the formula

x=-b±b2-4ac2a

We get

x=1.72L   or   x=0.387L 

x=0.387L is not valid as net electric field will not be zero in between the two charges.

Hence, electric field will be zero at a distance 1.72L    from the second charge.

Therefore from 5q, the distance will be

d=1.72L+L

=2.72L

The distance of the point at which net electric field of particle 1 and particle 2 zero is 2.72L

b

Sketch of net electric field lines between and around the particles

Conclusion

The co-ordinate of point at which net electric field is zero can be found be equating the individual electric fields acting on the point due to given two charges.
