A point charge  = -500 nC and two unknown point charges,  and , are placed as shown in the figure. The electric field at the origin , due to charges ,  and , is equal to zero. The charge  is closest to

Explanation / Answer

The electric field at the origin O, due to charges Q, q1 and q2, is equal to zero.

-[500nC/(distance)^2] x cos(30) = q1/(1.1)^2

-500nc* 0.866/4= q1/1.21

we get q1= -130 nc
