Problem

A point charge of +5.0 μC+5.0\,\mu\text{C} is fixed at x=0x=0. A second point charge of −5.0 μC-5.0\,\mu\text{C} is fixed at x=0.20 mx=0.20\,\text{m}. Does any point on the xx-axis have zero net electric field produced by these two charges? If so, specify the xx-coordinate of the point; if not, state “none.”
