- MCQ
Two charges \(q\) and \(3 q\) are separated by a distance ' \(r\) ' in air. At a distance \(x\) from charge \(q\), the resultant electric field is zero. The value of \(x\) is _______.
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(\frac{r}{(1+\sqrt{3})}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\left(\vec{E}_{\text {net }}\right)_p=0\)
\(\frac{\mathrm{kq}}{\mathrm{x}^2}=\frac{\mathrm{k} \cdot 3 \mathrm{q}}{(\mathrm{r}-\mathrm{x})^2}\)
\((\mathrm{r}-\mathrm{x})^2=3 \mathrm{x}^2\)
\(\mathrm{r}-\mathrm{x}=\sqrt{3} \mathrm{x}\)
\(\mathrm{x}=\frac{\mathrm{r}}{\sqrt{3}+1}\)
