Suppose you have a Cartesian coordinate system with:
a 2uC charge at (0,0) and a -8uC charge at (4,0), why is there only one point in which the EFI is zero (-4,0)? Shouldn't that be the first point where the EFI is zero (so (-5,0),(-6,0)... all have Electric Fields of zero)
The reason I think this is because if you drew the Electric field lines from one charge to the other, they wouldn't go either way infinitely.
Thanks
