Question: Q. 5. In given figure, two positive charges q2 and q3 fixed along the y-axis, exert a net electric force in the +x direction on a charge q1 fixed along the x axis. If a positive charge Q is added at (x,0), the force on q1

Show Answer

Solution:

Ans. Electric field lines start from positive charge and end at infinity. Therefore, these lines do not form closed loops. [CBSE Marking Scheme, 2014] 1

(a)

(b) (a) shall increase along the positive x-axis.

(b) shall decrease along the positive x-axis.

(c) shall point along the negative x-axis.

(d) shall increase but the direction changes because of the intersection of Q with q2 and q3.

[NCERT Exemp.]

Ans. Correct option:

Explanation: Net force on charge q1, by other charges q2 and q3 is along the +x-direction, so nature offorces between q1 and q2 and q1 and q3 are attractive. This is possible when charge q1 is negative. Now, if a positive charge Q is placed at (x,0), then, the force on q1 shall increase. Its direction will be along positive x-axis.

Commonly Made Error

  • Some candidates do not understand about attraction and repulsion of net force. Here net force is the vector sum of all forces in x-direction.
