A positive charge of q 1 is located 3.00 m to the left of a negative charge –q 2 . Magnitude of charge q 1 greater than magnitude of negative charge q 2 . The net electric field intensity is zero at a point on the line passing through charges. On this line there are also points where the potential is zero. Locate these two points relative to the negative charge –
A
At 0.2 m left of negative charge
B
At 0.2 m right of negative charge
C
At 
m left of negative charge
m left of negative charge
D
At 
m right of negative charge
m right of negative charge
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
CHECK THE SOLUTION.
(b, c)
q 1 = 16q 2 ...(i)
V at P = 0
3 + x = 16x
3 = 15x
x = 15x
