The point in the line where the intensity of electric field be 1.33 m from the second point charge.
Solution:
The point on the line joining the two point charges be given by,
Given: Charge
Charge
Distance between the point charges and = 2 m
Let us assume the point at which electric field intensity is zero be at a distance from
And from = 2-x
As given that
x = 4 – 2x
x + 2 x = 4
3x =4
x=
x = 1.33 m.
