Two point charges $(+Q)$ and $(-2Q)$ are fixed on the $X$-axis at positions $a$ and $2a$ from the origin,respectively. At what position on the axis is the resultant electric field zero?

  • A
    Only $x = \sqrt{2}a$
  • B
    Only $x = -\sqrt{2}a$
  • C
    Both $x = \pm \sqrt{2}a$
  • D
    $x = \frac{3a}{2}$ only
