Two negative charges of equal magnitude are located in \(x y\)-plane as shown below in the figure. The direction of the electric field at point \(P\) is

  1. A along positive, \(x\)-direction
  2. B along negative, \(x\)-direction
  3. C along positive, \(y\)-direction
  4. D along negative, \(y\)-direction
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) along negative, \(x\)-direction

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

As \(E_1=E_2\) and charges are symmetrically placed on \(Y\)-axis, Resultant lies along angle bisector of \(\mathbf{E}_1\) and \(\mathbf{E}_2\). i.e., along negative \(X\)-axis.
