Three point charges as shown are placed at the vertices of an isosceles right-angled triangle. Which of the numbered vectors coincides in direction with the electric field at the mid-point M of the hypotenuse?
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
Electric field due to Q 2 and Q 3 cancel each other.
So, the vector numbered 2 coincides in direction with electric field due to Q 1 at mid-point M of the hypotenuse.
