Two charges 
and 
are placed 20 cm apart. The net electric field at the mid-Point between the two charges is
A
N/C directed towards 
B
N/C directed towards 
C
N/C directed towards 
D
N/C directed towards 
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
From following figure,
E A = Electric field at mid point M due to + 5 μ μ C charge
E B = Electric field at M due to +10 μ μ C charge
Net electric field at 
in the direction of E B i.e. towards + 5 μ μ C charge
