Two point charges of 20μC and 80μC are 10cm apart. Where will the electric field strength be zero on the line joining the charges from 20μC charge
A
0.1m
B
0.04m
C
0.033m
D
0.33m
Answer
0.033m
Explanation
Solution
Let neutral point be obtained at a distance x from 20 μC charge. Hence at neutral point
(x)220=(10−x)280 ⇒ x=+0.033m
