Consider point charges of +Q and +4Q, which are separated by 3 m. At what point, on a line between the two charges, would it be possible to place a charge of -Q such that the electrostatic force acting on it would be zero?

A) 3/5 m from the +Q charge
B) 1 m from the +Q charge
C) 1 m from the +4 charge
D) 3 m from the +4 charge
E) There is no such point possible.
