Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) a

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{E}=\frac{\mathrm{KQr}}{\left(\mathrm{x}^2+\mathrm{R}^2\right)^{3 / 2}} \\ & \frac{\mathrm{dE}}{\mathrm{dx}}=0 \\ & \therefore \mathrm{x}=\frac{\mathrm{R}}{\sqrt{2}}=\frac{\sqrt{2} \mathrm{a}}{\sqrt{2}}=\mathrm{a}\end{aligned}\)
