Question

a negatively charged particle A is exactly placed between line joining two fixed particles B and C having equal charge of same nature then​

Answer 1

Answer:

A will move towards B

Explanation:

option 1

Answer 2

A will remain stationary in its position.

• We know that the electrostatic force between two charges depends on the magnitude, sign, and distance between two charges.
• Here, since B and C are of the same nature and magnitude, and are at equal distances from A in both directions.
• So they will exert equal and opposite forces on A.
• Net electrostatic force on A will be zero. So A will remain stationary.
