Question

5. At
on the x axis?

A) The electric field is never zero in the vicinity of these charges.

B) The electric field is zero somewhere on the x axis to the left of the +4q charge.

C) The electric field is zero somewhere on the x axis to the right of the –2q charge.

D) The electric field is zero somewhere on the x axis between the two charges, but this

point is nearer to the –2q charge.

E) The electric field is zero at two points along the x axis; one such point is to the

right of the –2q charge and the other is to the left of the +4q charge.

which point (or points) is the electric field zero N/C for the two point charges shown

Distance between +4q and -2q not given so possibility of electric field is zero at distances. Option (e)is correct.
