Two small charged spheres \(A\) and \(B\) have charges \(10 \mu \mathrm{C}\) and \(40 \mu \mathrm{C}\) respectively and are held at separation of \(90 \mathrm{~cm}\) from each other. At what distance from \(A\), electric field intensity would be zero?
- A \(22.5 \mathrm{~cm}\)
- B \(18 \mathrm{~cm}\)
- C \(30 \mathrm{~cm}\)
- D \(36 \mathrm{~cm}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(30 \mathrm{~cm}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The given situation is shown below, Let electric field at point \(P\) at a distance \(x\) from \(A\) is zero. At point \(P, E_{A}=E_{B}\) \(\Rightarrow \quad \frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0}} \frac{q_{A}}{x^{2}}=\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0}} \cdot \frac{q_{B}}{(r-x)^{2}}\)…
