Two charges $Q$ and $4Q$ are separated by a distance of $6 \text{ cm}$. The distance of the point from $4Q$ at which the net electric field is zero is: (in $\text{ cm}$)

An infinite number of electric charges, each equal to $5 \text{ nC}$ (magnitude), are placed along the $X$-axis at $x = 1 \text{ cm}, x = 2 \text{ cm}, x = 4 \text{ cm}, x = 8 \text{ cm}, \dots$ and so on. In this setup, if the consecutive charges have opposite signs, then the electric field in $\text{N/C}$ at $x = 0$ is: $\left(\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0} = 9 \times 10^9 \text{ N} \cdot \text{m}^2/\text{C}^2\right)$
