Problem
A point charge of +8 µC is fixed at x = 0 cm on the x-axis, and a point charge of –2 µC is fixed at x = 12 cm on the same axis. Without performing explicit calculations, determine in which one of the following regions the net electric field along the x-axis is zero: (i) x < 0 cm, (ii) 0 cm < x < 12 cm, (iii) x > 12 cm. State only the region number.
