Q.

Figure shows, in cross section, two solid spheres with uniformly distributed charge throughout their volumes. Each has radius R. Point P lies on a line connecting the centers of the spheres, at radial distance R/2 from the center of  sphere 1. If the net electric field at point P is zero, and Q1  is  64 μC  and  Q2=8  xμC, what is the value of x.
