To find the locus of points where the electric potential is zero due to two charges \( q_1 \) and \( q_2 \) placed at coordinates \( (0, 0, d) \) and \( (0, 0, -d) \) respectively, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define the Potential Due to Each Charge The electric potential \( V \) at a point \( P(x, y, z) \) due to a point charge \( q \) is given by the formula: \[ V = k \frac{q}{r} \] where \( r \) is the distance from the charge to the point \( P \), and \( k \) is the electrostatic constant. ...
