  1. A \(\left(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}-1}\right) \mathrm{L}\)
  2. B 2 L
  3. C \(\frac{L}{2}\)
  4. D \(\left(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}+1}\right) \mathrm{L}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\left(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}-1}\right) \mathrm{L}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(k \frac{|q_1| e}{x^2} = k \frac{|q_2| e}{(x-L)^2}\) \(\frac{6q}{x^2} = \frac{3q}{(x-L)^2}\)
