Two point charges q and 2q are placed some distance apart. If the electric field at the location of q be E, then that at the location of 2q will be
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
As, electric field at q is E, so force on charge q,
… (i)
Let the electric field at 2q be E', so force on 2q will be
… (ii)
But, according to Coulomb's law,
