5) Two particles are placed on the y-axis. Particle 1, with a charge of -2 C, is placed at (0,0) and particle 2, which has a charge of 8 C, is placed at (0, 12). The two particles are 12 m apart.

(a) Draw a diagram of the scenario above. Draw the electric field lines of each particle, as if the other particle was not present.

(b) Using the two sets of electric field lines above, draw the net electric field lines for the two particles below.

(c) Which of the following regions cannot have a location where the net field is 0 N/C? (Yes, this is a multiple choice question, but you must select all choices that apply and give a reason why those choice(s) would answer the given question.) (i) Region below of particle 1 (ii) Region between particle 1 and 2 (iii) Region above of particle 2

(d) By now you should have one region remaining that can have a location where the net field is 0 N/C. Determine the coordinate of this location.
