14. Since according to the problem statement there is a point in between the two charges
on the
x
axis where the net electric field is zero, the fields at that point due to
q
1
and
q
2
must be directed opposite to each other. This means that

Unformatted text preview: must have the same sign (i.e., either both are positive or both negative). Thus, the potentials due to either of them must be of the same sign. Therefore, the net electric potential cannot possibly be zero anywhere except at infinity....
