2.1

Let the charges be

q1 = 5 *10-8 C and q2 = -3 *10-8 C

Distance between the two charges, d = 16 cm = 0.16 m

Consider a point P on the line joining the two charges

R = distance of the point P from the charge q1

Let the electrical potential (V) at point P is zero

Potential at point P caused by charges q1 and q2 respectively.
