Question 1
Two charges 5 x 10-8 C and -3 x 10-8 C are located 16 cm apart. At what point(s) on the line joining the two charges is the electric potential zero? Take the potential at infinity to be zero.
Answer
There are two charges,
Distance between the two charges, d = 16 cm = 0.16 m
Consider a point P on the line joining the two charges, as shown in the given figure.
r = Distance of point P from charge q1
Let the electric potential (V) at point P be zero.
Potential at point P is the sum of potentials caused by charges q1 and q2 respectively.
Where, = Permittivity of free space
For V = 0, equation (i) reduces to
Therefore, the potential is zero at a distance of 10 cm from the positive charge between the charges.
