Let the location of positive charge be taken as the origin O, Fig and line P be required point, where potential is zero. Let `OP = x cm`
Potential at P is `V = (3xx10^(-8))/(4 pi in_(0) (x xx 10^(-2))) + (-2xx10^(-8))/(4pi in_(0) (15 - x) xx 10^(-2)) = 0`
`:. (3)/(x) - (2)/(15 - x) = 0` , which gives `x = 9 cm`.
If P lies on extented line OA, the condition for zero electric potenitial would be `(3)/(x) - (2)/(x - 15) = 0`,
Which gives `x = 45 cm`
Hence electric potential is zero at 9 cm and 45 away from positive charge on the side of negative charge.
Potential at infinity is taken zero in the formula used.
