Question

For two equal and opposite charges placed at distance d, then electric field will be zero at?

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer

Explanation:

For two equal and opposite charges placed at distance r, the electric field will be zero at. Dear Student, The field due to the opposite charges point along the same direction. So, they can't be zero at any finite distance from any of the charge.

Answer 2

Option 4) is correct [No finite distance]

First of all, when 2 equal and opposite charges are placed at a specific distance, it represents an ELECTRIC DIPOLE.

• Now, there is no point (at finite distance) on the axis of a dipole where the electrostatic field intensity is zero.

Only at infinite distance, theoritically, the field intensity will be zero.

• This is because the field intensity vector of the individual charges can never be equal and opposite at finite distance from the dipole.
