The magnitude of the E field at a certain distance from a point charge is represented by E. What is the strength of the electric field at twice the distance from the point charge? At twice the distance, the magnitude of the E field is 2E. At twice the distance, the magnitude of the E field is 4E. At twice the distance, the magnitude of the E field remains equal to E. At twice the distance, the magnitude of the E field is E/2. At twice the distance, the magnitude of the E field is E/4.

The magnitude of electric intensity at a distance $x$ from a charge $q$ is $E$. An identical charge is placed at a distance $2 x$ from it. Then the magnitude of the force it experiences is (A) $q E$ (B) $2 q E$ (C) $\frac{q E}{2}$ (D) $\frac{q E}{4}$
Two charges of equal magnitude $Q$ are held a distance $d$ apart. Consider only points on the line passing through both charges. (a) If the two charges have the same sign, find the location of all points (if there are any) at which (i) the potential (relative to infinity is zero (is the electric field zero at these points? (ii) the electric field is zero (is the potential zero at these points?). (b) Repeat part (a) for two charges having opposite signs.
