Q.67. A positive charge of 2 . 0 × 10 - 7  coulomb is placed at a distance of 0.15 m from another positive charge of  8 . 0 × 10 - 7 coulomb. At what point on the line joining them is the electric field zero ?

[Ans. 0.05 m from 2 . 0 × 10 - 7 ]

Dear Student

two charges q1=2×10-7C q2=8×10-7Cthey are 0.15m apartThe point where Enet is zero.Electric field due to charge q1=Kq1r2Electric field due to q2=Kq2(0.15-r)2q1/q2=r2(0.15-r)28×10-72×10-7=r2(0.15-r)2r/0.15-r=2r=0.05mHope this information will clear your doubts about topic.  If you have any more doubts just ask here on the forum and our experts will try to help you out as soon as possible.  Regards
