JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 1. Electric charges and fields

Two charges, each equal to \(q\), are kept at \(x = -a\) and \(x = a\) on the \(x-\)axis. A particle of mass \(m\) and charge \(q_0=\frac{q}{2}\) is placed at the origin. If charge \(q_0\) is given a small displacement \((y < < a)\) along the \(y-\)axis, the net force acting on the particle is proportional to

  1. A \(y\)
  2. B \(-y\)
  3. C \(\frac{1}{y}\)
  4. D \(-\)\(\;\frac{1}{y}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(y\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\Rightarrow \mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{net}}=2 \mathrm{F} \cos \theta\) \(F_{n e t}=\frac{2 k q\left(\frac{q}{2}\right)}{(\sqrt{y^{2}+a^{2}})^{2}} \cdot \frac{y}{\sqrt{y^{2}+a^{2}}}\)…
