Electrostatics Question 678

Question: Two charge q and -3q are placed fixed on x-axis separated by distance d. Where should experience any force?

Options:

A) d2d2

B) d+3d2

C) d+3d2

D) d5d2

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

[b] Let a charge 2q be placed at P, at a distance I from A where charge q is placed, .

The charge 2q will not experience any force, when force, when force of repulsion on it due to q is balanced by force of attraction on it due to - 3q at B where AB=d

or (2q)(q)4πε02=(2q)(3q)4πε0(+d)2

=11μC.

=2d±4d2+2d24=d2±3d2
