Electrostatics Question 451

Question: The distance between charges 5×1011C and 2.7×1011C is 0.2 m. The distance at which a third charge should be placed in order that it will not experience any force along the line joining the two charges is [Kerala PET 2002]

Options:

A) 0.44 m

B) 0.65 m

C) 0.556 m

D) 0.350 m

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

If two opposite charges are separated by a certain distance, then for it’s equilibrium a third charge should be kept outside and near the charge which is smaller in magnitude.

Here, suppose third charge q is placed at a distance x from 2.7×1011C then for it’s equilibrium |F1|=|F2|

therefore kQ1q(x+0.2)2=kQ2qx2

therefore x = 0.556 m (Here k=14πε0andQ1=5×1011C,Q2=2.7×1011C)
