Two charges are placed on the x axis, equidistant from the y axis. The first charge, q1 = 1.21 μC, is placed at the coordinates (d, 0), and the second charge, q2 = 2.17 μC, is placed at the coordinates (−d, 0) where d = 0.258 m. There is a location on the x axis, (x0, 0), where the net electric field has a magnitude of zero. What is the value, in meters, of x0? x0 = m

( 1 4 % ) Problem 4: Two charges are placed on the x axis, equidistant from the y axis. The first charge, q 1 = 1.21 μ C , is placed at the coordinates ( d , 0 ) , and the second charge, q 2 = 2.17 μ C , is placed at the coordinates ( d , 0 ) where d = 0.258 m . There is a location on the x axis, ( x 0 , 0 ) , where the net electric field has a magnitude of zero. What is the value, in meters, of x 0 ?
x 0 = m
