An electron has been placed at the origin. The grid spacing is 1 Angstrom per small square this time. You put a nucleus with 9 protons on the x-axis at x = 3.0 Angstroms. There will be a place on the x-axis where the total electric field is zero. At what value of x does this occur?     0.18 Angstroms     -1.50 Angstroms     -0.60 Angstroms     0.36 Angstroms
