The charges have same sign

Explanation:

The total electric field at a point on the line between the two charges is given by the resultant of the two electric fields produced by the two charges, which means that we must take them considering their direction.

In order to have a total electric field of zero, the two fields must have equal magnitude and opposite direction. Let's analyze different cases. Remember we are analyzing the fields at a point P located between the two charges, so it is located on the right of the left charge and on the left of the right charge:

1- Charge on the left: positive, charge on the right: negative

At point P, the electric field produced by the left charge is to the right, while the electric field produced by the right charge is to the right also, so this configuration is NOT possible

2- Charge on the left: positive, charge on the right: positive

At point P, the electric field produced by the left charge is to the right, while the electric field produced by the right charge is to the left, so this configuration is possible

3- Charge on the left: negative, charge on the right: negative

At point P, the electric field produced by the left charge is to the left, while the electric field produced by the right charge is to the right, so this configuration is possible

4- Charge on the left: negative, charge on the right: positive

At point P, the electric field produced by the left charge is to the left, while the electric field produced by the right charge is to the left also, so this configuration is NOT possible

So, the only possible configurations are the ones where the two charges have same sign.

Arotating space station is said to create “artificial gravity”—a loosely-defined term used for an acceleration that would be crudely similar to gravity. the outer wall of the rotating space station would become a floor for the astronauts, and centripetal acceleration supplied by the floor would allow astronauts to exercise and maintain muscle and bone strength more naturally than in non-rotating space environments. if the space station is 200 m in diameter, what angular velocity would produce an “artificial gravity” of 9.80 m/s^{2} 2 at the rim?

Air enters a gas turbine with two stages of compression and two stages of expansion at 100 kpa and 17°c. this system uses a regenerator as well as reheating and intercooling – the intercooler returns the air to the inlet temperature. the pressure ratio across each compressor is 4 ; 300 kj/kg of heat are added to the air in each combustion chamber; and the regenerator operates perfectly while increasing the temperature of the cold air by 20°c. determine the system’s thermal efficiency. assume isentropic operations for all compressor and the turbine stages and use constant specific heats at room temperature.
