Question:medium

Two point charges $+2\mu C$ and $+8\mu C$ are placed at a distance of 15 cm apart in air. At a point on the line joining these two charges where the net electric field becomes zero, a third charge of $+5\mu C$ is placed. The net electrostatic force acting on $+5\mu C$ charge is

Show Hint

No calculation of distance is required. If the field is zero, the force on any test charge placed there is zero.
