Two particles A and B having charges $\displaystyle 20 \mu \mathrm{C}$ and $\displaystyle -5 \mu \mathrm{C}$ respectively are held fixed with a separation of $\displaystyle 5$ cm. At what position a third charged particle should be placed so that it does not experience a net electric force ?
Official answer
(2)
At $\displaystyle 5$ cm from $\displaystyle -5 \mu \mathrm{C}$ on the right side
