Problem

A charge of +4 µC is fixed at x = 0 m on the X-axis and a charge of +1 µC is fixed at x = 0.60 m. At which one of the following x-coordinates will a +1 nC test charge experience zero net electrostatic force (consider points only on the X-axis)? (a) x=0.30 mx = 0.30\,\text{m} (b) x=1.20 mx = 1.20\,\text{m} (c) x=0.40 mx = 0.40\,\text{m} (d) x=0.20 mx = 0.20\,\text{m}
