- MCQ
A point charge of \(10\,\mu C\) is placed at the origin. At what location on the \(X\)-axis should a point charge of \(40\,\mu\,C\) be placed so that the net electric field is zero at \(x =2\,cm\) on the \(X\)-axis ?
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(x =6\,cm\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(E _{ P }=\frac{ K \times 10}{2^2}-\frac{ K \times 40}{\left( x _0-2\right)^2}=0\)
\(\frac{1}{2}=\frac{2}{x_0-2}\)
\(x_0-2=4\)
\(x_0=6\,cm\)
