Two electric charges \(+2 \mu \mathrm{C}\) and \(-4 \mu \mathrm{C}\) are separated by a distance \(3 \mathrm{~m}\) in air. At a point \(\mathrm{P}\) located on the line joining the two charges and in between them, the electric potential is zero. Then the electric field at a point \(\mathrm{P}\left(\right.\) in \(\left.\mathrm{NC}^{-1}\right)\) is

Correct Answer

(B) 18,000

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{Q}_1=+2 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{C} ; \mathrm{Q}_2=-4 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{C}\) Distance, \(\mathrm{d}=3 \mathrm{~m}\) Electric potential, \(V=\frac{2 \times 10^{-6}}{4 \pi \epsilon_0(3-x)}+\frac{(-4) \times 10^{-6}}{4 \pi \epsilon_0 x}\)…
