Question

Two point charges+q and -q are situated at a certain distance. At the point exactly midway between them
1) Electric field and potential both are zero
2) Electric field is zero but potential is not zero
3) Electric field is not zero but potential is zero
4) Neither electric field nor potential is zero

Answer 1

Answer:

Hey mate.

correct option is 3

Since direction of electric field is from positive to negative charge.

So it will be in the direction of due -q and due to both the charges.

But for potential it is a scalar quantity so the sum of potential due to all the charges will be zero.

Hope it will help u.
