Two point charges, +2 \( \mu \text{C} \) and -3 \( \mu \text{C} \), are separated by a distance of 20 cm in the air. At what point between the two charges and on the line joining the two charges is the electric potential zero?
(Take the potential at infinity to be zero)
- A 10 cm from charge +2 \( \mu \text{C} \)
- B 6 cm from charge +2 \( \mu \text{C} \)
- C 12 cm from charge +2 \( \mu \text{C} \)
- D 8 cm from charge +2 \( \mu \text{C} \)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) 8 cm from charge +2 \( \mu \text{C} \)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(V = V_1 + V_2 = 0\) \(\frac{k q_1}{x} + \frac{k q_2}{r - x} = 0\) \(\frac{2 \times 10^{-6}}{x} + \frac{-3 \times 10^{-6}}{20 - x} = 0\) \(2(20 - x) = 3x\) \(40 - 2x = 3x\) \(5x = 40\) \(x = 8 \text{ cm}\)

Kinetic studies not only help us to determine the rate of a chemical reaction but also describe the conditions by which the reaction rates can be altered. The factors such as concentration, temperature, pressure and catalyst affect the rate of a reaction.
The speed of a reaction or the rate of a reaction can be defined as the change in concentration of a reactant or product in unit time.
Rate \(=k[A]^x[B]^y\)
Here \(k\) is the rate constant
\(x+y\) gives the overall order of a reaction, whereas \(x\) and \(y\) represent the order with respect to the reactants \(A\) and \(B\), respectively.
Which of the following statements are correct?
(A) Catalysts increase the rate of a chemical reaction.
(B) Catalysts can catalyze both spontaneous and non-spontaneous reactions.
(C) Higher the activation energy for a chemical reaction, lower is the rate of the reaction.
(D) Catalyst increases the potential energy barrier.
