Two point charges $-q$ and $+q/2$ are situated at the origin $(0, 0, 0)$ and at the point $(a, 0, 0)$ respectively. The point along the $X$-axis where the electric field vanishes is:

  • A
    $x = \frac{a}{\sqrt{2}}$
  • B
    $x = \sqrt{2}a$
  • C
    $x = \frac{\sqrt{2}a}{\sqrt{2} - 1}$
  • D
    $x = \frac{\sqrt{2}a}{\sqrt{2} + 1}$
