Question: A + 1 5 C charge and a - 8 C charge are fixed on the x - axis at x = 0 m and

A +15C charge and a -8C charge are fixed on the x-axis at x=0m and at x=5m, respectively. In which region on the x-axis could a third charge be placed so that the net electric force on it due to the other two charges is zero?
(A) only for x0
(B) for x>5mx0x>5mx0
(C) only for x>5m
(D) for x0 and x>5m
(E) any point on the x-axis
A + 1 5 C charge and a - 8 C charge are fixed on
