Two point charges \(Q_{1}=2 \mu \mathrm{C}\) and \(Q_{2}=1 \mu \mathrm{C}\) are placed as shown. The coordinates of the point \(P\) are \((2 \mathrm{~cm}, 1 \mathrm{~cm})\). The electric intensity vector at \(P\) subtends an angle \(\theta\) with the positive \(X\)-axis. The value of \(\theta\) is given by

- A \(\tan \theta=1\)
- B \(\tan \theta=2\)
- C \(\tan \theta=3\)
- D \(\tan \theta=4\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(\tan \theta=2\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Given, \(Q_{1}=2 \mu \mathrm{C}=2 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{C}\) \[ Q_{2}=1 \mu \mathrm{C}=1 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{C} \] The electric field intensity at a point \(P\) due to a point charge is given by…
