(b) Find the acceleration of the proton. magnitude m/s2 direction ---Select--- in the direction of the electric field in the opposite direction of the electric field The magnitude is zero. (c) Find the distance it travels in 1.96 ?s. cmarrow_forwardCharge q, = 2.50 nC is at x, = 0 and charge q, = 6.00 nC is at x, = 4.00 m. At what point between the two charges is the electric field equal to zero? (Enter the x coordinate in m.) HINT Write an expression for the net electric field as a function of position, x, in the region between the two charges. (Don't forget that the electric field is a vector, so direction is important!)
