Suppose a uniform electric field of 4 N/C is in the positive x direction. When a charge is placed at and fixed to the origin, the resulting electric field on the x axis at x = 2 m becomes zero. What is the magnitude of the electric field at x = 4 m on the x axis at this time?

a. 0 b. 1 N/C c. 2 N/C d. 4 N/C e. More information is needed to find the resulting field magnitude at this position.
