Two point charges $-10 \mu C$ and $+5 \mu C$ are situated on the $X$-axis at $x=0$ and $x=\sqrt{2} \ m$. The point along the $X$-axis where the electric field becomes zero is:

  • A
    $x=(\sqrt{2}-1) \ m$
  • B
    $x=2(\sqrt{2}-1) \ m$
  • C
    $x=2(\sqrt{2}+1) \ m$
  • D
    $x=(\sqrt{2}+1) \ m$
