Two charges $q$ and $-3q$ are placed fixed on the $x$-axis separated by a distance $d$. Where should a third charge $2q$ be placed such that it will not experience any force?

  • A
    $\frac{d}{2}(1 + \sqrt{3})$ from $q$
  • B
    $\frac{d}{2}(1 + \sqrt{3})$ from $-3q$
  • C
    $d(1 + \sqrt{3})$ from $q$
  • D
    $d(1 + \sqrt{3})$ from $-2q$
