1. Electric Charges and Fields
medium
Two charges $+Q$ and $-2 Q$ are located at points $A$ and $B$ on a horizontal line as shown below.The electric field is zero at a point which is located at a finite distance

A
on the perpendicular bisector of $A B$
B
left of $A$ on the line
C
between $A$ and $B$ on the line
D
right of $B$ on the line
(KVPY-2011)
Solution

(b)
As direction of fields of charges at points $A$ and $B$,
are in opposite directions to left of $A$ or right of $B$, so fields can be zero in these regions. But in right side of $B$, field cannot be zero as $E_A$ is very smaller than $E_B$ (charge at $A$ is smaller magnitude and its distance from $B$ is also large).
So, field can be zero in region left of $A$.
