At what x-coordinate could you place a proton so that it would experience no net force?...

A 2.6 nC charge is at the origin and a -4.2 nC charge is at x = 1.2 cm.

At what x-coordinate could you place a proton so that it would experience no net force?

Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

♦ Relevant knowledge
We must understand which place to put the proton, so that the force exerted on proton caused by both charges should be in the opposite direction. So if we put it in the middle of the two charges, the the force generated by both charges will be in the that direction, so force will never be zero. If we put it to the left of 2.6 N charge, then force will move in the opposite direction. We will therefore proceed in the same manner.
