    The point charges Q and -2Q are placed at some distance apart. If the electric field at the location of Q is E, the electric field at the location of -2Q will be

    A) \[-\frac{3\,E}{2}\]                     

    B) \[-\,E\]

    C) \[-\,\frac{E}{2}\]                       

    D) \[-\,2\,E\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    The intensity of electric field at a point due to change Q, distance r is given by \[E=\frac{1}{4\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}}}\frac{(-2Q)}{r}\] \[E'=\frac{1}{4\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}}}\frac{(Q)}{r}\] Dividing Eq. [a] by Eq. [b], we get           \[\frac{E}{E'}=-\frac{2Q}{Q}\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\,E'=-\frac{E}{2}\]
