Two charges \(+q\) and \(-q\) are kept apart. Then at any point on the right bisector of line joining the two charges

  1. A the electric field strength is zero
  2. B the electric potential is zero
  3. C both electric potential and electric field strength are zero
  4. D both electric potential and electric field strength are non-zero
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) the electric potential is zero

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

At equitorial point \[ E_e=\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0} \frac{p}{r^3} \] (directed from \(+q\) to \(-q\) ) and \(V_e=0\).
