A point charge of $\displaystyle 10 \mu \mathrm{C}$ is placed at the origin. At what location on the X-axis should a point charge of $\displaystyle 40 \mu \mathrm{C}$ be placed so that the net electric field is zero at $\displaystyle x=2 \mathrm{~cm}$ on the X -axis?
Official answer
From NTA’s final answer key for this paper.
(3)
$\displaystyle x=6 \mathrm{~cm}$
