Problem

Two identical point charges +Q+Q are fixed 12 cm12\ \text{cm} apart on a straight line. At which one of the following positions along the line will a small positive test charge experience zero net electrostatic force? (a) At any point between the two charges except the midpoint (b) Exactly at the midpoint between the two charges (c) No point along the line gives zero net force (d) Exactly 6  cm6\;\text{cm} to the left of the left-hand charge
