In an experiment, two point charges Q1 and Q2 were put on a straight line path, at a certain distance from each other. When both Q1 and Q2 are charged with +2,0 [mC] each, the resulting electric field intensity equals zero in the middle point in the line path between Q1 and Q2. This is true since their electric field vectors in this position have the same magnitude but opposite directions.
