3. Consider these 2 point charges separated 0.2 m. There are points somewhere along the line passing through where the electric potential (voltage) is zero. a. One is between the charges, how far is this point from 3 uC charges, how far is this point from 3 uC charge? b. Where is the second point? How far is this second point from the 3 uC charge?
