Question
At which point (or points) is the electric field zero N/C for the two point charges shown on the x axis? The electric field is zero somewhere on the x axis between the two charges, but this point is nearer to the -2q charge. The electric field is never zero in the vicinity of these charges The electric field is zero somewhere on the x axis to the right of the -2q charge. 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. The electric field is zero somewhere on the x axis to the left of the +4q charge.Explanation / Answer
The electric field is zero at two points along the xaxis one such point is to the right of -2q charge and other is to the left of the +4q charge
Electric field at any point wil be zero when electric field due to positve charge is equal in magnitude due to negative charge but opposite in direction it can be possible on both sides of charges as attractive force due to -2q will be equal in magnitude of repulsive force due 4q charge and both wil be in opposite direction
