A-3.18-hc point charge and a 6.36-c point charge are a distance l apart. where should a third point charge be placed so that the electric force on that third charge is zero? (hint: solve this problem by first placing the -3.18-hc point charge at the origin and place the 6.36-pc point charge at x =-l.)

Explanation:

Let x be the distance of - 3.18 μC from the said third charge.Then the distance of 2 nd charge will be L + x . It is so because the point of zero field will not be between the charge because of opposite nature of charges. It will be on the other side of smaller charge.Applying formula of electric field we have

k x3.18 x 10⁻⁶ / x²  = k x- 6.36 x  10⁻⁶ /( L+ x)²

=( L+x)²/x² = 6.36/3.18=2

(L + x) /x = √2 = 1.414

L + x = 1.414 x

.414 x = L

x = L/.414

x = 2.4 L

the aurora is formed when charged particles emitted from the sun during a solar flare penetrate the earth's magnetic shield and collide with atoms and molecules in our atmosphere. these collisions result in countless little bursts of light, called photons, which make up the aurora.

auroras are generated by charged solar particles hitting molecules in earth's atmosphere. this usually happens in high latitudes, because our planet’s magnetic field tends to funnel these particles toward the poles. that’s why it can be experienced in northern ohio.
