To find the position of the point where the net electric field is zero due to two point charges \( q_1 \) and \( q_2 \) located at positions \( \vec{r}_1 \) and \( \vec{r}_2 \) respectively, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Configuration We have two point charges \( q_1 \) and \( q_2 \) at positions \( \vec{r}_1 \) and \( \vec{r}_2 \). We need to find a point \( \vec{r}_3 \) on the line joining these two charges where the electric field \( \vec{E} \) is zero. ### Step 2: Determine Possible Locations for \( \vec{r}_3 \) The point \( \vec{r}_3 \) can be located: - To the left of \( q_1 \) ...
