Question: Two equal charges are separated by a distance d. A third charge placed on a perpendicular bisector at x distance will experience maximum coulomb force when [MP PET 2002]
Options:
A) $ V _{A}<V _{B} $
B) $ V _{A}>V _{B} $
C) $ V _{A}<V _{C} $
D) $ V _{A}>V _{C} $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
Potential decreases in the direction of electric field. Dotted lines are equipotential lines $ V _{A}=V _{C} $ and $ V _{A}>V _{B} $
