Two point charges \(-10 \mu \mathrm{C}\) and \(+5 \mu \mathrm{C}\) are situated on \(X\)-axis at \(x=0\) and \(x=\sqrt{2} \mathrm{~m}\). The point along the \(X\)-axis where the electric field becomes zero is

  1. A \(x=(\sqrt{2}-1) \mathrm{m}\)
  2. B \(x=2(\sqrt{2}-1) \mathrm{m}\)
  3. C \(x=2(\sqrt{2}+1) \mathrm{m}\)
  4. D \(x=(\sqrt{2}+1) \mathrm{m}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(x=2(\sqrt{2}+1) \mathrm{m}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The point on x -axis where electric field is zero, \(\begin{aligned} & x=\left(\frac{\sqrt{q_2}}{\sqrt{q_1}-\sqrt{q_2}}\right) r=\left(\frac{\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{10}-\sqrt{5}}\right) \sqrt{2} \\ & =\frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}-1} \mathrm{~m} \end{aligned}\) \(\therefore\) Distance of…
