Question :
Two point charges 4 μC and -4 μC are placed at a distance 1.5 m. Total number of points except infinity, where potential due to system of charges is zero?
Answer :
Total number of points except infinity, where potential due to system of charges is zero is INFINITE.
Given :
Two point charges = 4 μC and -4 μC respectively
Distance between two charges = 1.5m
To find :
Total number of points except infinity, where potential due to system of charges is zero
Solution :
Let 'O' be the mid point between the two charges.
Hence distance between O to 4 μC = 1.5m/2
= 0.75 m
distance between O to -4 μC = 1.5m/2
= 0.75 m
At the point O , the value of potential = 0
Since, we know that ,
Vo = Kq / (r/2) + Kq / (r/2)
Vo = {K × 4 × 10^(-6) / 0.75} + { K×(-4) × 10^(-6) / 0.75}
Vo = 0 ( Since '+' and '_' cancels each other )
Hence, there are infinite no.of lines on the equatorial line, so total number of points except infinity, where potential due to system of charges is zero is INFINITE.
