12th Class Physics Electric Charges and Fields Question Bank MCQ - Electric Charges and Fields

  • question_answer
    A charge 'q' is placed at the centre of the line joining of two equal +ve charge 'Q. The system of the three charges will be in equilibrium, if q=

    A) \[-\frac{Q}{2}\]             

    B) \[-\frac{Q}{4}\]

    C) \[\frac{Q}{4}\]                          

    D) \[\frac{Q}{2}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    (b) \[-\frac{Q}{4}\] At equilibrium, net force will be zero \[\therefore \,\,\frac{1}{4\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}}}\times \frac{Qq}{{{\left( r/2 \right)}^{2}}}+\frac{1}{4\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}}}\times \frac{{{Q}^{2}}}{{{r}^{2}}}=0\] \[4q=-Q\] Or \[q=\frac{-Q}{4}\]
