Halliday, Resnick & Walker β€” Gauss' Law: Problem 40

40 Figure 23-42 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/4.00 from the center of sphere 1. If the net electric field at point P is zero, what is the ratio \(q_2/q_1\) of the total charges?
