Two charges (red and blue) are positioned on the x-axis and produce an electric field in the space surrounding them. A positive test charge is represented by the green dot. Vectors representing the magnitude and direction of the fields of the red and blue charges and of the net field are shown at the position of the test charge. Running or stepping the animation will move the test charge down the screen, and the E-field vectors will change accordingly. Find three different combinations of red and blue charges (other than the original one) so that the net electric field on the x-axis is 0. How could you give in one sentence an infinite number of combinations of red and blue charges?
